The most Ancient Special Devotion of Christians is
doubtless that of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the
Son of God. The holy Sacraments and the other
objects of devotion did not yet exist, when the
Blessed Virgin Mary found her delight in worshiping
the most Sweet Heart of her Jesus; already did holy
Joseph clasp that Heart to his bosom; even when
the Shepherds and the Magi, Simeon and Anna, the
Apostles and the Disciples attracted to It and by It:
they longed to show to It the affection and love of
their hearts. But after Jesus had called upon all men
to learn, "that He had drawn from the treasury of
His heart that best of all gifts, the Sacrament of the
Most Blessed Eucharist; lastly, after He had willed
that, upon the cross, His Heart should be opened,
and continue open, as a place of refuge for all; then
was devotion to His divine Heart wonderfully
increased. The Apostles now spread it throughout the world as a special
worship. Thence forth, the Fathers of the Church themselves practiced it most
tenderly, and commended it most carefully to others. The Saints of every after
age became devoted disciples of the Heart of Jesus. But when came the
fullness of time, at which He had decreed to pour forth all the riches of His Heart,
the goodness and kindness of the Saviour were made manifest, and Himself
revealed His wish that, thereafter, this devotion should be a most special one;
since He declared and promised that He would lavish the abundance of His
grace upon all who should consecrate themselves to the worship of His Heart.
"LEARN OF ME BECAUSE I AM MEEK AND HUMBLE OF HEART
These are the words of Jesus Christ, whereby we are commanded to learn and
imitate the Virtues of His Heart, that we may be set free from all the misery of
soul, and be made truly happy.
This is His doctrine, this is the method of learning, this is the fruit, this is the end.
Here the Heart of Our Lord Jesus begins to speak to us. This Heart not only calls
for mankind to love and honour, but to imitate His Divine Heart, which is Infinite
Divine Love. Every devotion mankind has been drawn towards comes from and
is a fruit that has its origin in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Passion, Divine
Mercy. Divine Will, Divine Wisdom, The Holy Face, these are just a few.
In this Heart lies the Science of the Saints. In this Heart we are truly shown the
Way to Heaven. And without knowing this Heart, it is impossible to either love or
imitate It with a pure heart.
The Heart of Jesus speaks to all of mankind, warning that You will be judged
according to how closely you imitate My Sacred Heart.
Hence the purpose of this website. It has been designed for those who truly
want to be transformed into the likeness of Our Saviour, that is to love and
honour and imitate His Most Sacred Heart.
We begin acknowledging the need for love, faith, obedience, Prayer, the
Sacraments, and to climb to the very top of the ladder of the beatitudes. We can
learn and follow the life of Our Lord, we can listen and obey the very words
coming from the Voice of His Heart. We can learn by the examples of the Saints,
and by being drawn to honour and mimic those attributes of Our Lord taught in
Scripture and amplified in the lives, words and works of the Saints.
Each one of us have embarked on that journey which leads to life, that is, leads
to Our God. Each one of us are on different stages of that journey. Hence the
subscription pages have been designed in order for each person to choose
what tools, that is, what works, will be of most benefit to them and to those
around them.
