Feasts of the Sacred Heart and the Most Precious Blood

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You!

The Feast of the Sacred Heart is celebrated 19 days after Pentecost Sunday. Because this year's Feast falls on the first day of July,  it coincides with the Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus.

I will draw all by the links of love & charity. based on Hosea 2:14
Oh my Jesus, that you would give me to attach myself to you forever, to set ablaze the whole world with your love and to conquer by your love all hearts.

It is at this Divine touch that the cold heart comes alive, and little by little feels within itself that which befits the Heart of Jesus.

My pleasure, O, my God,
my wealth, is your law,
My only ambition
is to be everything to you;
You hold me, in place of day in a profound night,
In the milieu of a desert
you return to me a
whole world.

The  door of Heaven will be opened to the Christian soul who is refined by Divine Love.

PENTECOST: Solemnity, May 12, 2011

Based on this passage: And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of  fire, and it sat upon every one of them: And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Spirit gave them to speak” (Acts 2:2).
K. Van de Vyvere, Brugge, Belgium

"Then He came to the creation of man, and He created one man; and from one man the human race.  Nor did He will to create two separate beings, male and female, but one man; and from this one man He made woman (Gen. i. II). Why did He do this?  Why did He begin the human race from one man, if not to commend unity to mankind?  And the Lord Christ was born of one person. In the Virgin therefore is unity..." from Homily for the Day of Pentecost: St. Augustine
