• The Eucharist is the Heart of the Church by St. John Paul II

The Sacred Heart of Jesus IS the Eucharist by Fr. John A. Hardon

“Why do we make this equation? What do we mean when we say the Sacred Heart is the Holy Eucharist? We begin by recalling the centuries of Church teaching on what the term “Sacred Heart” expresses. The Sacred Heart signifies Christ’s love in three ways: God is love, God is loving and God loves with human feeling.

God is love. The Sacred Heart symbolizes the love that is God. From all eternity, God is love. That is the primary meaning of God as a Divine Community and not a single person. The essence of love is to give, and within the Trinity, each of the three Divine Persons from all eternity shares the divine nature that each one possesses. When we say God is love, we are defining God as that Community of three Divine Persons who, from all eternity, each share with the other the fullness of what each one not only has, but of what each one is.

God is loving. God is loving not only by bringing us into being, but by bringing us into being as creatures who are capable of love. God could of made us insects or animals or trees or lofty mountains, but these cannot think and love. When this loving God chose to create other beings, it was only because He is loving that He wanted to share what He as God had from all eternity (love) with beings who would not even exist without His love. From the moment of creation and into the endless reaches of eternity, God will continue loving us. If He were to cease loving us, we would cease to exist! God manifested His love by bringing us into existence and making us creatures who are capable of love.

God further manifested His love by becoming one of us, and, having become one of us, He has remained and will be for all eternity one of us. When the Word became Flesh, It became Flesh not only for a time, but for all eternity. God will remain Incarnate forever. This loving God, who out of love for us became man and died on the Cross to show His love for us, this God became man and remains man, but He remains man on earth.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Sacred Heart is the Holy Eucharist. The Eucharist is the same Infinite Love who is God and who out of love for us became man and is here on earth. When we receive Him, that same God is within us. Love wants us to be intimate. Love wants us to be near. Love wants us to be close to the one whom it loves. The Holy Eucharist is divine genius!”  – Read the rest of Fr. John’s Hardon’s article “The Sacred Heart is the Holy Eucharist” at this link

 

The Eucharist is Truly Jesus’ Heart – video by Eucharistic Revival Preacher

Fr. Tim Anastos is one of the National Eucharistic Revival preachers.

“We have a God who gives His own heart so that we can be aflame with love for Him and for the world.” “Through the lens of scientifically proven Eucharistic miracles, Fr. Tim Anastos unveils the awe-inspiring reality of the Eucharist, reinforcing the idea that it’s not just a symbolic act but a tangible manifestation of God’s love, grace, and the incredible intimacy He wants with us.”  When we receive the Eucharist, we are receiving the Heart of the Lord.

Twelve Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary

St. Margaret Mary once said, “I do not know of any other exercise in the spiritual life that is more calculated to raise a soul in a short amount of time to the height of perfection and to make it taste the true sweetness to be found in the service of Jesus Christ.”

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 honoured.
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.

PRAYERS

Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, to Thee I consecrate and offer up my person and my life, my actions, trials, and sufferings, that my entire being may henceforth only be employed in loving, honoring and glorifying Thee. This is my irrevocable will, to belong entirely to Thee, and to do all for Thy love, renouncing with my whole heart all that can displease Thee.

I take Thee, O Sacred Heart, for the sole object of my love, the protection of my life, the pledge of my salvation, the remedy of my frailty and inconstancy, the reparation for all the defects of my life, and my secure refuge at the hour of my death. Be Thou, O Most Merciful Heart, my justification before God Thy Father, and screen me from His anger which I have so justly merited. I fear all from my own weakness and malice, but placing my entire confidence in Thee, O Heart of Love, I hope all from Thine infinite Goodness. Annihilate in me all that can displease or resist Thee. Imprint Thy pure love so deeply in my heart that I may never forget Thee or be separated from Thee.

I beseech Thee, through Thine infinite Goodness, grant that my name be engraved upon Thy Heart, for in this I place all my happiness and all my glory, to live and to die as one of Thy devoted servants.

Amen.

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
