Sacred Heart of Jesus

St. Teresa’s emotion at the sight of an image of Jesus.

One of the souls who showed the most devotion to the Heart of Jesus is certainly St. Teresa of Avila, who was moved as soon as she saw an image that reminded her of the blood or wounds of the Savior. It was there that this great Saint learned to recognize the value of her soul and the love that Jesus had for her. She herself tells the following. “One day I entered an oratory and saw an image of Jesus Christ, covered with wounds! I immediately felt a deep compassion for Him, because everything He suffered for us was represented in the most authentic way! The pain I felt was so great that it seemed as if my heart was being broken, and having thrown myself at His feet I shed a great abundance of tears, begging Him to grant me the grace not to offend Him any more.

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
