Ah, sweet Jesus, may we satisfy the thirst of Thy sacred
Heart by loving Thee with a strong, enthusiastic, faithful love. Oh, let us
ever abide by Thy love. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thou lovest! Alas! Then comes
the unfortunate part, O dear Lord – Thou are not loved! Alas! This is but too
true.
Ah, think of the hundreds and thousands who do not even know
His Name. Then think of those who willingly scoff at and blaspheme His Holy
Name – Atheists, Freemasons, unbelievers, etc. But these even are not the cause
of the deepest wounds in His Sacred Heart. Jesus, our dear Lord, has told us Himself, in
His words to Saint Margaret Mary, what He feels most: “The coldness,
irreverence, want of love of His own chosen ones” – those who do know Him, who
hear Him spoken of so often, and yet, love so little, so poorly. Oh, it is this
that hurts Him deeply, this that He feels so keenly – and from those who
receive so many graces and favors, and yet are such ungrateful, thankless children
to this most loving of Fathers.
