Defending Devotion to the Sacred Heart

 

Defending Devotion to the Sacred Heart | Timothy T. O'Donnell, S.T.D. | Introduction to Heart of the Redeemer



I have attempted not so much to speak with authority of things that I know, as to seek to know them by speaking about them with reverence. -- St. Augustine, De Trinitate, I v. 8

“He who loves the coming of the Lord is not he who affirms it is far off, nor is it he who says it is near. It is he who, whether it be far or near, awaits it with sincere faith, steadfast hope, and fervent love. —Augustine of Hippo”
Carl E. Olson, Will Catholics Be Left Behind?: A Catholic Critique of the Rapture and Today's Prophecy Preachers

“In a divine paradox, suffering is a gift, for it is through suffering that we become sacrificial, self-giving lovers of others and of God (Phil 1:29; 2 Tim 2:10-11).”
Carl E. Olson, Will Catholics Be Left Behind?: A Catholic Critique of the Rapture and Today's Prophecy Preachers

“Jesus’ love and adoration for the Father, and concomitantly, his contemplation of the Father. Our participation in these states comes by way of imitation: we love, adore, and contemplate the Son, as he did (does) the Father. Our gaze toward [Christ] should be a gaze of the greatest honor, the most powerful love and total and absolute dependence. We should wish that. . . we could be completely occupied and given over to this spiritual and divine contemplation of the new source and principle of our being.14”
