SACRED HEART DEVOTION DAY 23

Symbolism of the cross visible on the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Our divine Savior appears to St. Margaret to reveal His Sacred Heart and said, “Here is the heart that loves mankind.” This was a flaming heart, shining with divine light, pierced by the lance wound, encircled by a crown of thorns, surmounted by a cross and bleeding. Today, let us examine what this cross on the Divine Heart means. All throughout His earthly life our Messiah bore only crosses. His own people disowned and neglected Him and they inflicted upon Him humiliation, pain, poverty and scorn. We come to know from the Gospel that He agonized many times and was in deep sorrow. He was pensive about His passion, death and crucifixion. Still He was eager to celebrate this Passover. The cross surmounted on the divine heart teaches us that, Jesus who suffered unto His crucifixion and death for our salvation is ready to suffer again for us who remembers His passion, death and His immense love. The cross symbolizes salvation, sacrifice, redemption, atonement and suffering. So let us meditate upon the wishes and desires of this Sacred Heart and forgo all evil acts on our part that torture and pain this Divine Heart. Let us suffer with true patience all the pains and afflictions of our agony uniting them with that of Jesus’ and follow Him bearing our cross.

INVOCATION 

O Graceful Divine Heart of Jesus, which was pierced by a lance and shed for me even the last drop of Your divine blood while dying on the cross, I firmly believe that the cross surmounted on Your Divine Heart was formed because of my transgressions. O Divine Heart! Wounded because of my negligence and ingratitude, have mercy on me before I breath my last. Bless me Lord, by the grace of Your passion and death, to repent all my sins, make the necessary reparation and breath out my soul into the bosom of Your infinite mercy.

Grant to Your Church, O Lord, assurance of freedom, protect our Supreme Pontiff and make haste that all may know the haven of truth, and have unity of faith, so that there may soon be one fold and one Shepherd! Lord, be merciful to the unfortunate sinners, console the souls in Purgatory and be merciful to me, your unworthy servant. O Immaculate Heart of Mary, O Mother of all blessings, I firmly believe that through your powerful intercession, all my prayers and petitions will be granted. Amen

[ 3 Our Father, 3 Hail Mary, 3 Glory be..]
