"Devotion to the Sacred Heart should bring us to
a life of intimate union with Jesus who, we know, is truly present and living
in the Eucharist. The two devotions — to the Sacred Heart and to the Eucharist
— are closely connected. They call upon one another and, we may even say, they
require one another. The Sacred Heart explains the mystery of the love of Jesus
by which He becomes bread in order to nourish us with His substance, while in
the Eucharist we have the real presence of this same Heart, living in our
midst.
