Guards of Honor 1st Friday / January 2022 Fr. David Bellusci, OP 

Sacred Heart of Truth and Love

The Sacred Heart of Jesus is the heart written in thorns of  truth; the Sacred Heart of Jesus is filled with the flesh of  love. The depth of the Heart of Jesus is unfathomable. His  love for us can never be exhausted. We respond with the  truth our intelligence is made for. To be one with the Sacred  Heart is to adhere to truth. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and  the Life. In one of her letters of 1678 St. Margaret Mary  Alacoque expresses thanks to the Lord for many things but  especially the Cross of Jesus that accompanies her daily. Let  us give thanks to the Lord, as St. Mary Margaret does,  knowing the Cross is what unites us with the Sacred Heart  of Jesus.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, draw us into deeper  Communion with you!

Prayer to Renew Our Fidelity and Devotion 

Divine Jesus, my Saviour and my King, with all my heart I  renew the promise which I have made to love, to glorify and  to console Your adorable Heart as a member of the Guard  of Honor. Grant O good Master, to make me daily more  loving, more devoted and more faithful. I ask this same  grace for all the Associates through the most sweet Heart of  Your Mother. AMEN
