Saintly Thought for Today



Since June is specially dedicated to the Sacred Heart, we will pay particular attention this month to saints who are important in the history of this devotion.  We again have an excerpt from a prayer composed by St. Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647 AD - 1690 AD), Visitation nun and great visionary of the Sacred Heart:

I find in the Sacred Heart of Jesus all that is wanting to my poverty, because It is filled with mercy.  I have found no remedy so efficacious in all my afflictions as the Sacred Heart of my adorable Jesus.  In It I sleep without care and repose without anxiety.  There is nothing hard or grievous which is not softened by the amiable Heart of Jesus.
