Sacred Heart
Reparation and consolation of the Heart of Jesus.
This rule lives the spiritual life as friendship with the wounded, loving Heart of Jesus, and answers His desire revealed to St. Margaret Mary: reparation and consolation. Through the Apostleship of Prayer it takes a lay, daily, accessible form.
Each morning is offered to the Sacred Heart for the Holy Father's monthly intention; Mass and Communion are offered in reparation; the Thursday holy hour keeps watch as in Gethsemane; the first Friday of nine consecutive months is kept for the Great Promise. The aspiration runs under it all: Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You.
For anyone moved by reparation, whose prayer is by nature intercessory, who wants the Pope's intentions woven into their days.
St. Margaret Mary Alacoque; Pius XII, Haurietis Aquas
