Like the Eucharist, so many
Catholics have ignored our Lord’s Sacred Heart – to their spiritual detriment. Love
for the Sacred Heart of Jesus and for the Eucharist is forever interconnected. One
leads to the other. “In reality,” Mother Louise Margaret Claret de la Touche
asserts, “they are only one and the same devotion”.
Is not the Holy Eucharist the
living flesh of our resurrected Lord? Does not His Sacred Heart beat within the
consecrated host?
Yet both devotions remain
unappreciated and undervalued gifts from our loving Lord.
Philip Michael Bulman, the author of Sacred Fire - Practicing Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
wants to do something about this tragedy.
