OUR LADY OF THE SACRED HEART

May 30, 2009

“Because Mary is without stain, immaculate, she is entirely open and surrenders herself to everything that comes from on high; God can come down and fill her being. A place is prepared for him, wherever he goes within her; she is ready and cooperates, whatever he wishes to do … Every grace can and will stream into her whose depths can contain all.” Jules Chevalier, msc

To be a disciple demands a listening heart, so that the Word may become incarnate and transformed into a Living Word, to be shared with others.

“The more you practice this, the more pleasing you will be to the Heart of Jesus and to Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, and the more quickly you will advance in the way of perfection. Give yourselves without reserve to Mary, and she will guard you as her own possession. She will sustain you in the trials through which you must still pass. She will help you not to become discouraged in the midst of difficulties. Despite appearances to the contrary, she will make fruitful your prayers, tears, and daily sacrifices. Then abandon yourselves totally to her, with love and confidence.” Marie Louise Hartzer, fdnsc

“… we trust to obtain help, assistance and protection from Our Lady, even if all human help has disappeared, because she is for us the ‘Hope of the hopeless’.” Hubert Linckens, msc

Prayer: Mary, Our Lady of “Yes” to the Spirit,may God still speak through us in our days.Give us your heart to love tenderly,give us your hands to share with generosity,give us your eyes to see broadly,give us your voice to sing our joys.''--Pierre Pythoud, msc
