Mexican Mystic Mother Angelica Alvarez Icaza, Foundress of a Visitation Monastery, will lead us with her meditations, based on the Litany to the Sacred Heart, through June, the Month of the Sacred Heart.
Day 16
Heart of Jesus, In whom the Father has been pleased
Only the Son of God can be the object of the pleasures of the Father; only He and those that resemble Him; For this reason do not stop praying and working on that divine ideal of becoming a living portrait of Christ.
O Heart of Jesus!
I want to be your happiness
and to live always united to You
as Mary is.
Day 15
Heart of Jesus, In whom dwells the fullness of the divinity
I was contemplating this when my eyes were fixed on the tabernacle and at the same moment, it was as if Jesus had thrown an arrow of love to me, I felt my heart pierced through , leaving me sweetly wounded by the Divine lover Chief of my loves .
An immediate effect was followed by a lively desire to sacrifice myself for GOD seeing with clear light that I have but the present moment to prove my love and thus I want to take advantage of it.
O Heart of Jesus!
You are the highest goodness
I want to imitate you
having great charity
Day 14
Heart of Jesus, In Whom Are All the Treasures of Wisdom and Science
While I received the blessing of the Holy Sacrament, I asked Him for a description of these treasures, particularly those that govern the nations and thus help them turn to God.
O Heart of Jesus!
I always want to be faithful
and repel lovingly
those who give You gall.
Day 13
Heart of Jesus, King and Center of All Hearts
King of love … who has been more beloved than You? Centuries pass but not your lovers and today we are thousands of souls burning in your love, who do not breathe but for your love and who will finally be consumed by your love.
O Heart of Jesus!
in my constant prayer,
I want to give you a thousand consolations,
giving myself to your love.
Day 12
Heart of Jesus, Worthy of All Praise
Yes, and for this I want to see Him live in all nations. I do not know if it will be a dream, but when in the morning I receive Holy Communion as He is in my mouth I say:
I will not let you pass until you grant me this. Your kingdom comes to us. Just as a poor man would do to a king who visits him and going to the threshold of his door told him prostrate; Oh Sir I am not worthy that your majesty enters my poor house but since you have the kindness to visit me grant me this… would not this be granted by the king ? immediately the Sacred form passes because I know that it should not be detained in the mouth.
O Heart of Jesus!
In your presence I will be,
and recollected and humble
your sweet voice I will listen to.
Day 11
Heart of Jesus, Abyss of all the Virtues
Studying one by one the virtues of the Heart of my beloved Jesus I feel like one who wants to probe an abyss; Nevertheless these virtues that are in Him, I contemplate and fall in love with such blessings that I have no other desire than to copy them in my poor heart and to be as soon as I can a living portrait of Christ
Oh Heart of Jesus!
To relieve you in your sorrows
I will forget mine and think of others
Day 10
Heart of Jesus, Full of Kindness and Love
So inseparable are goodness and love from the Heart of my beloved that it is not possible to picture Jesus but full of kindness, gentleness, and love. Oh if they knew the delicacies of love He uses with his Spouses! I say what happens to me, with other souls He will do the same. He treats me with a kindness, with a love, gives me ineffable and divine caresss that are but as the overflowing of His goodness and his love.
Oh Heart of Jesus!
I am your honor guard
I will always be very present
to give you glory, love, reparation
Day 9
Heart of Jesus Receptacle of justice and love
The espoused soul: ” to You I come oh Heart of Jesus, hungry and thirsty for justice and love. I will joyfully draw from the sources of your divine breast and I will be satiated”
Day 8
Heart of Jesus, Fiery Furnace of Charity
Lessons of the Heart Of Jesus: “My daughter, look at this Heart that burns in love for people that they learn of me that I love them; I have given you an example so that as I love them I love you
O Heart of Jesus!
opened with a lance
I want that you feed me
of that blood and water.
Day 7
Heart of Jesus, House of God and Gate of Heaven
God, mansion of God, a human-divine Heart, where the divinity dwells, where we also live for the love that He has for us. And door of heaven! oh Jesus! the soul that contemplates your Sacred Heart lives as at the door of heaven, in the vestibule of glory. Jesus, my sweet Jesus, I beg you to reveal the charms of your divine Heart to all souls and once they know you they will forget the things of the earth, oh Heart of Jesus!the door of the sky, door that leads us to the Father as you yourself have said.
O Heart of Jesus!
Of singular attractiveness
I want to enter your breast and
you will teach me to love
Day 6
Heart of Jesus, Tabernacle of the Highest
What supreme adoration, what divine silence,
what infinite love in this heart that is the tabernacle of the highest . The soul is present to You and silently adores You.
O Heart of Jesus
Of the Visitation a Treasure
I want always to console You
To be a sweet joy for You.
Day 5
Heart of Jesus, Holy Temple of God
In this holy temple I pray always to your Father oh Jesus, because you have taught me that only the supplications that pass from your divine Heart to the Father, only these are accepted.
Oh Heart of Jesus
Whom I love so much, so much,
I promise you to flee promptly
from what is less holy
Day 4
Heart of Jesus of Infinite Majesty
Penetrating the soul of this sovereign majesty, I adore, I love, even die; outside I am forced to keep before the Holy Sacrament a deep respect, and minor offenses seem to me crimes because the Heart of Jesus has long made me feel His Sovereign majesty and delicious love .
Oh Heart of Jesus!
I want to be yours, to be holy,
and for that I totally surrender
because that I know you love me.
Day 3
Heart of Jesus substantially united to the divine WORD
I am looking at the Heart of Jesus: such a human heart, a divine heart, with the bitterness of Calvary and the love of the Eucharist
If to achieve perfection
Is the greatest of your cravings
Dedicate yourself with determination to be faithful in your responsibilities.
Day 2
Formed by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin
In a ray of divine light contemplate the infinite and substantial love of God -He is the divine and human love of the Heart of Jesus- the love of a pure creature in the Heart of Mary . A spark of the divine burnings ignited my poor heart!
Day One
Heart of Jesus, Son of the Eternal Father
How can I explain how the Word makes me penetrate into that divine affiliation! It makes me experience in a certain way the divine ardor that His human Heart has towards his Father, communicates to me these ardors or rather, we two together love; our hearts are made one heart to love and glorify the Father. I can not say more…..
Oh Heart of Jesus!
I surrender to you
I will not talk lightly
Nor much less of myself!.
Como podre explicar lo que el Verbo me hace penetrar en esa filiacion divina! Me hace experimentar en cierto modo los ardores divinos que su Corazon humano tiene hacia su Padre, me comunica estos ardores o mas bien, lo amamos los dos juntos hechos nuestros corazones un solo Corazon para amar y glorificar al Padre. No puedo decir mas
