Principles and Practices - June 16

Study the Hidden Life

Let us in our love towards the Sacred Heart, endeavour to become more intimately ac­quainted with its life at Nazareth, so that, charmed with the marvels we shall there discover, we may be filled with desire to act and suffer with the same motives and intentions that led to the actions and sufferings of Jesus, and thus arrive in time at a more just appreciation of the true character and blessed fruits of a life formed on the model of the Hidden Life of Nazareth.

-The Heart of Jesus of Nazareth.
