"And He showed me that it was
His great desire of being loved by men and of withdrawing them from the path
of ruin into which Satan hurls such crowds of them, that made Him form the design
of manifesting His Heart to men, with all the treasures of love, of mercy, of
grace, of sanctification and salvation which it contains, in order that those
who desire to render Him and procure for Him all the honour and love possible,
might themselves be abundantly enriched with those divine treasures of which
this Heart is the source. He should be honoured under the figure of this Heart
of flesh, and its image should be exposed. . . He promised me that wherever
this image should be exposed with a view to showing It special honour, He would
pour forth His blessings and graces. This devotion was the last effort of His
love that He would grant to men in these latter ages, in order to withdraw them
from the empire of Satan which He desired to destroy, and thus to introduce
them into the sweet liberty of the rule of His love, which He wished to restore
in the hearts of all those who should embrace this devotion."

(On the Crucifix)
O Jesus give us Thy Heart as a pledge of Thy love and as a place of
refuge that we may find there a secure repose during our life and sweet
comfort at the hour of our death.

Let Us Pray
O Almighty and Eternal God, look upon the Heart of Thy dearly beloved
Son, and upon the praise and satisfaction He offers Thee in the name of
sinners and for those who seek Thy mercy; be Thee appeased, and grant us
pardon in the Name of the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who livest and reignest
with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.
(b) O Sacred Heart of Jesus, we know that there is but one thing impossible to Thee, to be without pity for those who are suffering or in distress. Look down, we beseech Thee, on us, and grant us the grace which we humbly, and earnestly implore Thee, through the Immaculate Heart of Thy sorrowful Mother to whom Thou did confide us as her children, and whose prayers are all powerful with Thee. Amen.
Chorus:-
While ages course along,
Blest be with loudest song,
The Sacred Heart of Jesus,
By every heart and tongue,
The Sacred Heart of Jesus,
By every heart and tongue.
O Heart for me on fire,
With love no man can speak,
My yet untold desire,
God gives me for Thy sake.
