"From His Heart to Mine"

Dear little soul,

One quiet night in the chapel, Saint Margaret Mary knelt before the altar, just like we do when we come before Jesus in prayer. Suddenly, she saw Him—Jesus Himself—bathed in light, standing above the altar, His Heart glowing and surrounded by a crown of thorns and a little flame of love. He reached out His hand and gently said, “Behold this Heart, which has so loved men…”

When I look at this picture, I see how much Jesus longs for us to know His Heart. He doesn’t hide it. He shows it—open, burning, and full of love. He is not far away. He leans toward us. He wants to be close.

Saint Margaret Mary didn’t run away or hide. She looked right at Him and listened. She gave Him her whole heart in return.

Jesus wants the same from you and me. His Sacred Heart is full of grace—like a treasure box that never runs out. Every time we kneel before Him, whether in Church, in our room, or even out under the sky, He sees us. And from His Heart flow all the graces we need to become the holy person He dreamed us to be.

When we feel weak or unsure, we can look to His Heart. If we want to grow in kindness, patience, or courage, we can ask His Heart to share those gifts with us. And if we ever feel sad, we can remember His hand reaching out—just like in the picture—ready to lift us up.

So today, I want to whisper a little prayer with you:

“Jesus, gentle and strong, let my heart rest in Yours. Teach me to love like You. Let Your Sacred Heart be my refuge and my strength, and help me become holy, little by little, just like Saint Margaret Mary.”

With all my love and prayers,

Sister Mary Clare,
