| They tell us also that our worship is directed to the Person of the Word, made manifest by this Heart and its love. Thus, in the fullest sense, the Sacred Heart is the whole of Jesus, as He reveals Himself to us through the Incarnation.
The liturgy considers the Heart of flesh at times, in the Litany for instance, with the invocations “Heart of Jesus, formed by the Holy Ghost in the womb of the Virgin Mother†and “Heart of Jesus, pierced with a lanceâ€, and at other times its love, as in this invocation: “Heart of Jesus, burning furnace of charity, have mercy on us.†But the invocation is always addressed to the Person Himself, to this divine Person who can take pity on us, console us, and heal our misery, because He is possessed of infinite majesty and infinite power. Always before us is the all-lovable and all-loving Person of Christ Jesus. |
