The love and the lovability of His Person are revealed in many ways, especially through His virtues, for we can say that the virtues of Jesus are as it were the charm, the flower of His charity.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

But virtues are nourished by grace, their fertile source, and grace itself suggests the idea of redeeming blood. Devotion to the Sacred Heart reveals the virtues of Jesus to us:\u00c2\u00a0Cor Jesu, virtutum omnium abyssus<\/em>; the graces of Jesus, and this is why the Litany invokes the Sacred Heart as a source of life and of sanctity:\u00c2\u00a0Cor Jesu, fons vitae et sanctitatis;\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>the blood of Jesus, and this is again why the Litany invokes the Sacred Heart as a propitiation for our sins:\u00c2\u00a0Cor Jesu, propitiatio pro peccatis nostris,\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>in the same way as St. John said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Devotion to the Sacred Heart contemplates and adores in Him the love of the Savior, the source of all His blessings, from the Nativity to the consummation of the Redemption in heaven. Of this devotion another, more special devotion is the magnificent fruit: the devotion to the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.<\/p>\n

It consists, according to His Holiness Leo XIII, in:<\/p>\n

“…rendering love, gratitude, veneration and homage to this act of supreme dilection in virtue of which our Divine Redeemer, pouring out all the riches of His Heart, instituted the adorable sacrament of the Eucharist, to remain with us until the end of time.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n
