“The devotion to the Blessed Eucharist
and the devotion to the Sacred Heart are not only two sister devotions, in
reality, they are only one and the same devotion. They complete each other and
develop each other; they blend so perfectly together that one cannot stand
without the other, and their union is absolute. Not only can one of these
devotions not be prejudicial to the other but, because they complete each other
and perfect each other, they also reciprocally increase each other.
If we have devotion to the Sacred
Heart, we will wish to find It, to adore It, to love It, to offer It our
reparation and praise, and where shall we look for It but in the Blessed
Eucharist where It is found eternally living?
If we love this adorable Heart,
we will wish to unite ourselves to It, for love seeks union, we will wish to
warm our hearts by the ardor of this divine fire, but to reach the Sacred
Heart, to take hold of It, to put It in contact with our own, what shall we do?
Shall we scale heaven to bear away the Heart of Jesus Who reigns triumphant in
glory? There is no need to do so. We will go to the Blessed Eucharist, we will
go to the tabernacle, we will take the white Host, and when we have enclosed
it in our breast, and we will feel the divine Heart truly beating beside our
own.”
