Foundress Sr. Marie of the Sacred Heart Bernaud expressed these thoughts for the New Year:
ACTION OF GRACE:
In the beginning of the year we ask God for blessings that we need, but do we thank Him for the benefits we have received?
Ingratitude comes from egoism and pride. Our Lord complained about ingratitude to St Margaret Mary.
But those who are Guards of Honor do each action with the spirit of a humble intention, with filial gratitude.
Each sublime thought of a thank you to God is an uninterrupted chant for our big family.
This year let us begin to prepare for the spiritual riches that the Royal Heart of Jesus will give us!
