Show 1 The Sacred Heart and the Missions. The month of the Sacred Heart is here, and devout de-vout Catholics are making special efforts to secure graces for their souls. Let us see to it that our devotion to the Sacred Heart is not too selfish' and, thereforc.barren. To love the Heart of Christ means . to enter into His sympathies and to bocomc more like Him. Our Savior loved all mankind, and we wlio think on His Heart's loye deceive ourselves in our complacency, if we are not striving to appreciate ap-preciate more fully the needs of our fellow men. Around and near us there arc many, destitute of material and spiritual " helps which it is in our power to give; far away in ihe mission fields arc many more who claim Christ's love through our endeavors. If our love for the Sacred Heart is purely selfish it will soon die, because it is not sustained sus-tained by the true Christ-love. Let our devotion to the Sacred Heart be" consistent. Wo should love others as He has loved us. |
