Our heart united to the Heart of Jesus
A heart surrendered entirely to Jesus is not a solitary heart, even less a heart self-centered. The love of the Heart of Jesus expands it, ennobles it, devotes it and consecrates it to all legitimate affections. By approaching the Heart of God, the human heart strips itself of his weaknesses, his miseries and his self-esteem. Enlarged, refined, elevated, it becomes capable of all devotions. The hearts of the Saints bear witness to this. It is because they have transformed their hearts into devoting themselves to divine love, that they became magnanimous, admirable, heroic. It is in their hearts that we must seek the reason for everything great they have produced. and sublime, because the heart is the whole of man.
To possess the puny heart of man, God never stops pursuing him only with his tender advances and gentle provocations, but if necessary, He also showers him with some bitter disenchantments, with unspeakable pain. Then, emptying it, He rushes into this bruised and stripped heart to satiate it and beatify. So, let us let ourselves be seized by the Heart of Jesus, if he says to us: “My child, give me your heart » we can we also beg him “Jesus, own my heart, transform it, make from me whatever you please! » (Sr Marie du Sacred Heart Bernaud)
