Dear Honor Guards,

And here is the beautiful month of May dedicated to the Virgin Mary! She is that incomparable mother who leads us to her Son. Who, better than Her, can make us feel the love that Jesus has for everyone? Through Her, we are perpetually "re-born". But do we feel loved? If of course, we firmly believe that Jesus gave his life to save us, do we have the same certainty of being loved by Him, that He wants our good even if the trials overwhelm us? Under the maternal gaze of our heavenly mother, we can seriously ask ourselves this question as our foundress invites us to do.

Moreover, like every year, the Guard of Honor joins forces with the Association Marie de Nazareth, for the preparatory novena for the feast of the Visitation (May 31). You can register online to receive daily meditations on the following link:

Other information, the Honor Guard publishes a quarterly magazine to which many of you subscribe and receive it by mail. From now on, the magazine can be consulted for free online on our official website:

https://gardedhonneurdusacrecoeur.org/

You will discover there many spiritual articles and all that is lived in the centers of the countries where we are present!

May the Lord bless everyone!

The love of Jesus for everyone!

Do you feel loved by Jesus? Do you believe in Jesus' love for you? Is it because he revealed himself at the manger, at Nazareth, at Calvary, in the Cenacle, with such dazzling grandeur and magnificence that it is impossible to doubt him, or because he most certainly arranged all the details of your life with the most provident solicitude?

We believe in the love God has had for the world in general, but we don't believe enough in the love he has especially for ourselves. However, when we look back, and recall one after another the years we have already lived, it seems evident that we have been the object of the most delicate attentions of Providence. Alas, believing ourselves lost in a mass of the human race, like a drop of water lost in the immensity of the ocean, we rarely or very little reflect on this.

The simplicity of the Christian is the truth; but the truth is one of the most precious nourishments of the interior life and the truth is that the Lord loves us and that he loved us to the end. Let us have the consoling simplicity of feeling loved by God and our heart will find ardor that it did not suspect.
