Over the centuries, Jesus has appeared to saints to ask them to tell the world about how much He loves and treasures us all. Some of those saints are St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, St. Gertrude the Great, St. Mechtilde of Hackeborn, and St. Lutgardis of Aywieres. What the various messages of Jesus to the Church have in common is that He is reminding us of His great love. To St. Margaret Mary, He said that, “This is a Heart that loves so much and receives so little love in re- turn.” To St. Mechtilde, He said, “All that is contained in this book (book about their conversations) has flowed from My Heart and will return to it.” To St. Lutgardis, He said, “You want My Heart; well, I too want your heart.” To St. Gertrude, who was in- vited to place her head on the chest of Jesus as St. John had done at the Last Supper, St. John said, “The language of the blissful pulsations of the Sacred Heart is reserved for latter times, that the time-worn world, grown cold in the love of God, may be warmed up by hearing of such mysteries.” Remembering that Jesus loves us so deeply helps us to desire to love Him, in turn, more deeply. THE FIRST FRIDAY DEVOTION Our parents grew up going to church every First Friday of the month and taking part in Sacred Heart devotions, but in recent decades the pious practice has fallen out of practice and is dismissed by some as an “old-fashioned” anachronism. A main reason for the decline in interest in this devotion is probably rooted in simple ignorance: people don’t know what First Fridays are all about; families and parishes may not have adequately passed down their importance to the next gen- eration. Here are five things to know: 1. How did the First Friday Devotion begin? While some saints referenced the Heart of Jesus in their writings even centuries earlier, in 1673, a French Visi- tandine (Visitation) nun named Margaret Mary Alacoque had visions of Jesus, wherein He asked the Church to honor His Most Sacred Heart. In particular, Jesus asked the faithful to “receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine con- secutive months.” The request was connected to a specific promise made to all who venerated and promoted devotion to the Sacred Heart. After Margaret Mary’s death, the First Friday practice steadily spread in the Church — endorsed by popes and promoted by saints — but it greatly increased in popularity when Margaret Mary was canonized a saint in 1920 by Pope Benedict XV. 2. Why nine consecutive months? The number nine is traditionally associated with a novena and finds its origin in the nine days that the apostles spent in prayer before Pentecost. A novena provides an extended amount of time for preparation and interior renewal. 3. What am I supposed to do on First Fridays? Go to Mass and receive Holy Communion with the intention of honoring Christ’s Sacred Heart. If you are not in a state of grace, and thus unable to receive, you will also need to go to confession. 4. What are the “promises” connected to this devotion? Jesus said to St. Margaret Mary, “In the excess of the mercy of my heart, I promise you that My all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final re- pentance: they will not die in my displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and my heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour.” This means that if a person faithfully receives communion for nine consecutive months on First Fridays, Jesus will grant that person extra graces at the time of their death, making it possible to repent of their sins and receive the last rites (if needed). Cont. on p. 3 Page Three JUNE 10, 2018 - TENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Cont. from p. 2 This promise is the last of 12 promises connected to the Devotion to the Sacred Heart, particularly attached to the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart in one’s home: (1) I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life. (2) I will establish peace in their homes. (3) I will comfort them in all their afflictions. (4) I will be their secure refuge during life, and above all, in death. (5) I will bestow abundant blessings upon all their undertakings. (6) Sinners will find in my heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy. (7) Lukewarm souls shall become fervent. (8) Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection. (9) I will bless every place in which an image of my heart is exposed and honored. 10) I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts. (11) Those who shall promote this devotion shall have their names written in my Heart. (12)I promise you in the excessive mercy of my Heart that my all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Holy Communion on the First Fridays in nine consecutive months the grace of final perseverance; they shall not die in my disgrace, nor without receiving their sacraments. My divine heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.

  • Dominican Devotion to the Sacred Heart
    DOMINICAN DEVOTION TO THE SACRED HEART LOUIS EVERY, O.P. HE HEART of Christ is the living and expressive symbol of divine and human love for all mankind. This Heart was closed before the Passion, because it was unknown, but after the Passion it was opened so that holy souls might see that all the prophecies were fulfilled. It is true that in the Middle Ages great stress was placed upon the devotion to the Wounds of the Sav­ iour without specific reference to His Sacred Heart, yet there were many devout persons in the Order of Preachers who penetrated more deeply into those Wounds and discovered in the Pierced Heart, the emblem of love and the door that opens to eternal salvation. GERMANY The earliest account of devotion to the Sacred Heart in the Do­ minican Order is found in The Light of Divinity, a small book, con­ taining the visions of a pious woman, Mechtilde ( + 1250), written at the request of her spiritual director, a Dominican friar from the con­ vent of Magdeburg. She relates that on one occasion Our Lord ap­ peared to her and said : "In the Order of Preachers there are two things, i.e., the cult shown and the great fruit derived which I esteem so highly that I always smile from the depths of My Sacred Heart; for both men and women with all the power at their command zeal­ ously preach the glory of My Majesty."1 Mechtilde always prayed that the Dominicans by their labors would continue to make repara­ tion for the insults directed against the Sacred Heart.

  • The Life and Kingdom of Jesus in Christian Souls
    The Life and the Kingdom Of JESUS A TREATISE ON CHRISTIAN PERFECTION FOR USE BY CLERGY OR LAITY BY SAINT JOHN EUDES Translated from the French by A Trappist Father in The Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsémani With an Introduction by THE RIGHT REVEREND MONSIGNOR FULTON J. SHEEN 1947 NEW YORK P. J. KENEDY & SONS Numérisé par [email protected] GENERAL PREFACE ST. JOHN EUDES has been called "the wonder of his age." Missionary, founder, reformer of the clergy, he crowded into a life of seventy-nine years so many and such varied accomplishments that one marvels how a single man could achieve so much. In addition to the activities of an incessant and many-sided apostolate, he wrote a number of valuable books, which rank him among the most prolific ascetic writers of the seventeenth century. For many years the devotional works of St. John Eudes were practically unknown.(1) Occasionally a volume was discovered in the library of some seminary or religious house. Many others preserved in manuscript form were lost in the chaos of the French Revolution(2) At the beginning of the present century the sons of St. John Eudes united in a tribute of filial piety to bring out a complete edition of the works of their spiritual father, seeking them in public and private libraries throughout the world(3) About twenty volumes were found and edited in 1905 by the late Fathers Charles Lebrun, C.J.M., and Joseph Dauphin, (1).Before the French Revolution the works of St. John Eudes were popular in France.

  • Gertrude the Great, OSB
    Gertrude the Great, OSB Born in Eisleben, Thuringia, Germany, on January 6, 1256; died at Helfta in Saxony, c. 1302. "O Lord Jesus Christ, in union with Your most perfect actions I commend to You this my work, to be directed according to Your adorable will, for the salvation of all mankind. Amen." --Saint Gertrude Almost nothing is known about one of my favorite saint's birth or death. Saint Gertrude was probably an orphan because at age five she was received by the Cistercian nuns of Helfta and placed under the care of Saint Mechtilde (see below) of Hackeborn, mistress of novices. (Helfta was actually a Black Benedictine convent, which had been falsely designated as Cistercian for political reasons in many early records.) The intellectual level was high in the castle convent of Helfta, which was then run by the noblewoman, Saint Gertrude of Hackeborn (1232-1292). Even so, Saint Gertrude was considered an outstanding student, who devoted herself to study, especially literature and philosophy. Eventually she became a professed nun but still she concentrated on the secular. God, however, is a great teacher. Gertrude learned that when she began to get carried away with her love of learning. She didn't go so far as to neglect GERTRUDE THE GREAT the Lord completely, but she did push him off a bit to the side. Her mind was growing, but it was growing faster than her heart. Gertrude's life has a lesson for intellectuals who will profit from her example. If a syllogism moves you to ecstasy and a dissertation about the love of God makes you speechless with joy, then beware.

  • St. Gertrude the Great
    St. Gertrude the Great Daily Saints / Saints Fuente: www.ewtn.com Benedictine and mystic writer; born in Germany, 6 Jan., 1256; died at Helfta, near Eisleben, Saxony, 17 November, 1301 or 1302. Nothing is known of her family, not even the name of her parents. It is clear from her life (Legatus, lib. I, xvi) that she was not born in the neighbourhood of Eisleben. When she was but five years of age she entered the alumnate of Helfta. The monastery was at that time governed by the saintly and enlightened Abbess Gertrude of Hackerborn, under whose rule it prospered exceedingly, both in monastic observance and in that intellectual activity which St. Lioba and her Anglo-Saxon nuns had transmitted to their foundations in Germany. All that could aid to sanctity, or favour contemplation and learning, was to be found in this hallowed spot. Here, too, as to the centre of all activity and impetus of its life, the work of works—the Opus Dei, as St. Benedict terms the Divine Office—was solemnly carried out. Such was Helfta when its portals opened to receive the child destined to be its brightest glory. Gertrude was confided to the care of St. Mechtilde, mistress of the alumnate and sister of the Abbess Gertrude. From the first she had the gift of winning the hearts, and her biographer gives many details of her exceptional charms, which matured with advancing years. Thus early had been formed between Gertrude and Mechtilde the bond of an intimacy which deepened and strengthened with time, and gave the latter saint a prepondering influence over the former.

  • The Sacred Heart of Jesus, Cathedral of Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
    The Yearly Review of Saint Philip Neri International Seminary Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest A. D. 2019 Dear Friends, “Behold this Heart, Which has loved men so much, that It has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming Itself, in order to show them Its love.” It was with these words, spoken to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque at the convent of Paray-le-Monial in June 1675, that Our Lord himself described his heart. Is this just a mawkish form of devotion overemphasizing God’s love? That is at least how many Jansenists chose to understand it, but nothing could be further from the truth. Nos ergo diligamus Deum, quoniam ipse prior dilexit nos (I Jn. IV, 19). Let us therefore love God because God first hath loved us. To return love for love: this is the key to understanding devotion to the Sacred Heart. This beautiful devotion, as Father Jean Croiset put it, “is essentially an exercise of love: love is its object, and its principal motive; and it is love which must be its principal end” (La dévotion au Sacré‑Cœur de N. S. Jésus‑Christ, Jean Croiset, SJ, Notre-Dame des Prés, Montreuil-sur-Mer, 1895, p. 3-4). We offer our warmest thanks to his Eminence Cardinal Burke who very kindly agreed to contribute to this issue. These pages are intended simply to help the reader come to a better knowledge of this devotion, so necessary for our times. For all those souls whose charity has grown cold, there is an urgent need to manifest the burning furnace of charity, fornax ardens caritatis, that is the Sacred Heart.
