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

Sacred Heart of Fire 

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque perceives, understands, and  experiences the Sacred Heart of Jesus as “Sacred Fire.” The work  of the Holy Spirit, the source of this Visitation Sister’s visions,  offered these graces of encounter: the mystical presence of Jesus  transformed St. Mary Margaret into a vessel of love and  communion. The Sacred Fire points to the Divine Heart of Jesus  that burns and purifies. Approaching the Sacred Heart of Jesus  means to be loved and purified by Him, the same Heart offered up  for each of us at the Cross. The Sacred Heart of Jesus draws us into  a deeper love for Him who saves us, Son of the ever-living God,  who sacrificed His life for us. Jesus is Truth Incarnate and Love  Incarnate, calling us evermore, into communion with His Sacred  Heart of Fire.  

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, draw us deeper  into your Fire of Love!

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
