Sacred Heart of Jesus I place my trust in thee. Save souls; purify and humble my own soul, so that my whole being may exist in accordance to the will of the Father.
A personal prayer, prayed throughout the day. C. Martin
Sacred Heart of Jesus — José María Ibarrarán y Ponce, 1896
Cool! Thanks for linking back, and for your lovely message =) here’s the excellent article it came from.
You may like these quotes from Oscar Wilde too:
“The Catholic Church is for saints and sinners alone. For respectable people the Anglican Church will do.”
[That reminds me of Christopher Dawson (1889-1970), an eminent Catholic historian who had converted to Catholicism even though his mother was angry because Dawson “would be worshipping with the help.”]
“Ah! Happy they whose hearts can break
And peace of pardon win!
How else may man make straight his plan
And cleanse his soul from Sin?
How else but through a broken heart
May Lord Christ enter in?”
—The Ballad of Reading Gaol
Blessed feast of the Immaculate Heart!

Peace in Christ, C. Martin.
I’m living with the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate in Perth in 12 days’ time, to discern with them! =D (just need to survive my final exams first)
