Some favorite references to the Sacred Heart in the Litany of the Sacred Heart can be a source of quiet meditation as we strive to learn more about the Sacred Heart of Jesus through prayer.
Heart of Jesus:
Burning furnace of charity
Vessel of justice and love
Full of goodness and love
King and center of all hearts
In whom are all treasures of wisdom and knowledge
Of whose fullness we have all received
Patient and abounding in mercy
Fountain of life and holiness
Source of all consolation
Our peace and reconciliation
Salvation of those who hope in You
Hope of those who die in you
“Patient and abounding in mercy “ is one I like to pray over. I remember a beloved Sister in our community, whose name, incidentally, was Margaret Mary, who had the patience of a saint. I asked her once how she could be so patient and she very quietly said
:
“When I begin to experience feelings of impatience I pray, “Patience of the Heart of Jesus, fill my heart.”
Perhaps you would like to select one of these invocations that speaks to your heart and use it for prayer.
