in the Words of God,
so that you may ardently long
for eternal things.”
St Pope Gregory the Great (540-604)
Great Father and Doctor of the Church
“In the Sacred Heart,
there is the Symbol
and the express Image
of the Infinite Love of Jesus Christ
which moves us to love in return.”
“And since, there is in the Sacred Heart,
a symbol and a sensible image
of the Infinite Love of Jesus Christ
which moves us to love one another,
therefore, is it fit and proper
that we should consecrate ourselves
to His most Sacred Heart – an act
which is nothing else than an offering
and a binding of oneself to Jesus Christ,
seeing that whatever honour, veneration and love
is given to this Divine Heart,
is really and truly given to Christ Himself.”
Encyclical Annum Sacrum (1899)

“His Heart is the natural Sign and Symbol
