SACRED HEART DEVOTION DAY 10

Jesus accomplished the will of the eternal Father and seeks only His glory.

Jesus leaves His heavenly abode for the love of mankind and, agonized on the cross to pay by His sufferings the debt due to our sins and obtain salvation for us. He suffered poverty, cruel indifference and injuries for the praise and glory of the heavenly Father and for the accomplishment of the Father’s will. He proclaimed and glorified the heavenly Father all throughout His life on earth.

All those who love the Sacred Heart! If you bear all your hardships, sorrows, and pain with a good intention, then even the slightest of our acts will become valuable in God’s sight and we will accumulate treasures in heaven. Except for evil deeds, all other acts of yours to glorify God has a good intention behind it. Our divine Lord’s life and deeds are an example of good intention. We can understand this from the Holy Gospel. “I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks it and he is the one who judges.” If I glorify myself my glory is worth nothing; but it is my Father who glorifies me. I keep his word.” (John 8:50:54) Therefore all those souls who wish to love the Sacred Heart of Jesus, should seek Jesus’ love and glory in all their thoughts and deeds.

” But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be given you besides.”(Matthew 6:33)

INVOCATION

Lord, full of grace! Jesus who is the glory of God the Father! You have submitted all the deeds of your lifetime for the glory of the eternal Father and to obtain salvation for us. Whereas I, a sinner has always craved for respect and praise from others in all my deeds. Henceforth I am willing to bear all my hardships and sufferings for the praise and glory of God the Father. Lord, give me strength to be true to my promise.

Grant to Your Church, O Lord, assurance of freedom, protect our Supreme Pontiff and make haste that all may know the haven of truth, and have unity of faith, so that there may soon be one fold and one Shepherd! Lord, be merciful to the unfortunate sinners, console the souls in Purgatory and be merciful to me, your unworthy servant. O Immaculate Heart of Mary, O Mother of all blessings, I firmly believe that through your powerful intercession, all my prayers and petitions will be granted. Amen.

[ 3 Our Father, 3 Hail Mary, 3 Glory be..]
