Amazingly, in gazing upon the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we are looking at the hidden center of God. What do we find there? Burning love! Crucified love! A love that never says, “Enough!” and that stays with us to the very end and takes beyond the end into an eternal embrace. It is a love that “bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things” (1 Cor 13:7) – IMF Ministry

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of you, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, your tender Mother and ours.
Say the Hail, Holy Queen and add: St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us. — St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
