Note.
The month of June has been par excellence the month of the Sacred Heart of
Jesus, a sea of infinite charity that, could not be contained in its sacred
humanity, flowed from his heart pierced by the spear, the infinite charity that
has flooded the world to the The end of the ages. This charity has
been felt even more in the great calamitous moments of our sacrosanct religion
and this current moment is not the exception when it receives its most furious
attack whose aim is to try to "end" this traditional devotion in the
Church by supplying it for a sanctioned devotion. by the Pontiffs prior
to the Second Vatican Council and returned to the Catholic world by John Paul
II. The devotion to "divine mercy" is a socalled "modern
devotion" that destroys true devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Nobody better than Saint John Eudes who with his inspired texts returns the
throne to the Sacred Heart, I hope they serve to base this devotion in your
souls and give you the courage to defend it against those who want to attack or
diminish it. Father ARTURO VARGAS
WN OF THE GLORY OF THE HOLY
HEART OF MARY.
It is not fair to separate two realities that God has united so closely with
the strongest ties of nature, grace and glory. I refer to the divine
Heart of Jesus, the only Son of Mary and the virginal Heart of Mary, Mother of
Jesus. The Heart of the best Father that can exist and of the best
Daughter that has ever existed and will always exist; the Heart of the most
divine of husbands and of the holiest of wives; the Heart of the kindest
of all Sons and the most loving of all Mothers.
They
are two hearts united by the same spirit and the same love that unites the
Father of Jesus with his beloved Son until they form only one Heart, not in
unity of essence as is the unity of the Father and the Son, but of feeling, of
affection and of will.
These
two hearts of Jesus and Mary are so intimately united that the Heart of Jesus
is the principle of the Heart of Mary as the creator is the principle of her creature;
and that the Heart of Mary is the origin of the Heart of Jesus as the mother is
the origin of the heart of her child.
Wonderful
wonder! The Heart of Jesus is the heart, soul, spirit and life of the
Heart of Mary. It does not have this activity or feeling except for the
Heart of Jesus. In turn, the Heart of Mary is the source of the life of
the Heart of Jesus, residing in her blessed womb, as the heart of the mother is
the beginning of the life of the heart of her Son.
Finally,
the adorable Heart of Jesus is the crown and the glory of the kind Heart of the
Queen of Saints. Just as the Heart of Mary is the glory and the crown of
the Heart of Jesus because it gives it more honor than all the hearts of
paradise.
For
this reason, after having spoken at length about the August Heart of Mary, it
is reasonable not to finish this book without saying something about the
admirable Heart of Jesus. But what can we say about a subject that is
ineffable, immense, incomprehensible, and infinitely elevated above the lights
of the cherubs? The tongues of the seraphim would be too weak to speak
with dignity of the slightest spark of that bonfire scorched by divine
love. Like a wretched sinner, full of darkness and iniquity? will
he dare to approach that abyss of holiness? How dare you look at that
formidable sanctuary when those terrible words strike your ears: ¿tremble
before my sanctuary? ‘” Lord Jesus, wash in my iniquities so that I
deserve to enter the Holy of Holies with a purified spirit", with pure
thoughts and words burning in that heavenly fire that you brought to earth and
burn the hearts of the readers in it.
CHAPTER 11: THE HEART OF JESUS IS A BURN OF LOVE TO THE ETERNAL FATHER
Infinite
reasons compel us to pay adoration and honors to the divine Heart of our
Savior. They are contained in the words of Saint Bemardin of Siena who
calls that Heart: "Bonfire of most ardent charity to inflame and burn the
entire universe."
Indeed,
the admirable Heart of Jesus is a bonfire of love for his Father, for his holy
Mother, for his Church and for each one of us, as will be seen in the following
chapters.
But
what spirit could imagine And what language could express the least spark of that
infinite fire of divine love that burns the Heart of the Son of God towards his
Father? He is robed of a love worthy of such a Father and such a
Son. It is love at the height of the perfections of the loved one.
He is an infinitely loving Son who loves an infinitely loving Father. He
is a God who loves a God. It is essential love that loves eternal
love. It is immense, incomprehensible and infinite love. In a word,
the Heart of Jesus, both in his divinity and in his humanity. He is more
fired with love for his Father, and he loves him infinitely more in every
moment, than the hearts of angels and saints in all eternity. And since
there is no greater love than to lay down his life for the beloved, the Son of
God loves his Father so much that he would be ready to sacrifice it again, as
he sacrificed it on the cross, and with the same torments, for his love.
Father, if such were your pleasure. And since it is immense love, he
would be ready to sacrifice it for the entire universe. And since it is eternal
and infinite love, he would be willing to sacrifice her eternally, infinite
times and with infinite pain.
¡Oh
Father, Creator, ¡life and Lord of the universe! Nothing in the world is
as lovable as you. Your infinite perfections and your unspeakable
bounties impose on your creatures infinite obligations to serve you, honor you
and love you with all their might. And yet there is nothing in the world
that is as unloved as you, as despised and outraged as you. They have
hated me and my Father 1, says your Son Jesus: Gratuitously they have hated me
2 that instead I have showered them with benefits. For a multitude of
demons and the damned in hell utter millions of blasphemies against your
majesty and the earth is full of infidels, heretics and false Christians who
treat you as if you were their worst enemy.
But
two things comfort and cheer me up. The first is that your perfections
and greatness, my God, are so admirable and you feel such satisfaction in the
infinite love of your Son for you and in what he did and suffered to repair the
injuries of your enemies that they will never be able to take the least from
you. shine of your glory and happiness.
The
second is that Jesus, your Son, who out of extreme goodness wanted to be our
Head so that we could be his members, has associated us with him in the love he
has for you and has therefore allowed us to love you with his same love that is,
in a way, eternal, immense and infinite.
For
you to understand it well, keep these three points in mind: the first is that
the love of the Son of God for his Father is eternal, it does not pass, it
always subsists. stable and permanent. The second. that that
love fills everything with the immensity of it and for the same reason it is in
our hearts, more intimate in us than in ourselves, as Saint Augustine
says. The third, that the Father of Jesus has given us all things 1 by
giving us his Son and therefore the love of the Son of God for his Father
belongs to us and we can use him as our own.
So
I can love his Father and my Father with the same love with which my Savior
loves him, with eternal, immense and infinite love. And to put it into
practice I can say this way: I give myself to you, my Savior, to associate
myself with the love you have for your Father. I offer you, adorable
Father, that eternal, immense and infamous love of your Son Jesus, as something
that belongs to me and just as the Savior tells us: I love you as my Father
loves me, in turn I can tell you: I love you, Father, as your Son loves you.
and
since the love of the Father for his Son is as much mine as the love of the Son
for his Father, I can also use that same love of the Father for his Son.
as from a love of mine; what I can implement like this:
I give
myself to you, Father of Jesus, and I unite myself to the eternal, immense and
infinite love that you have for your beloved Son. I offer you, Jesus, the
eternal, immense and infinite love of your Father for you, as a love that
belongs to me. And just as this beloved redeemer tells us: I love you as
my Father loves me, I can in my turn say to him: I love you, my Savior, as your
heavenly Father loves you.
What
happiness for us that the eternal Father has made us a gift of his Son and of
all things with him and not only to be our redeemer and our brother but also
our Head! What a privilege to be members of the Son of God and therefore
one with him, and to have with him the same spirit, the same heart and the same
love to love his Father! It is not surprising, then, that speaking of us
to the heavenly Father, Jesus tells him: You loved them as you loved me a
thousand and that he begs him to always love us like this: May the love with
which you loved me remain in him, because if we love It is not surprising
to that Father as worthy of love as his Son loves him, we cannot be surprised
that he loves us as he loves his Son because he looks at us in him as members
of his Son who are one with him and who love him with the same Heart and
God. same love as her Son.
May
heaven and earth and all created beings become a pure flame of love for this
Father of mercy and the only Son of his love; this is what Saint Paul
calls him when he says: "He trasnferret us to the kingdom of his beloved son"
