“As
the sanctity and merit of our actions depends on
the
motive and spirit with which they are actuated,
the
practice of the devotion to the Sacred Heart of
Jesus,
however holy, would be of little use, unless it
were
animated with the spirit and the motive which
gives it all its value.
This motive, as we have said, is to repair, as far
as
possible, by our love, our adoration, and by every
kind of homage the indignities and outrages which
Jesus Christ has endured, and still daily endures,
in
the most Blessed Sacrament. It is in this spirit,
and
in these sentiments, the devotion should be practiced.”
Beautiful reminder.
