The Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
"Behold this Heart which has so loved men that It has spared nothing, even to consuming Itself to witness Its love! And in return, I receive from most of them only ingratitude, from their irreverences and their sacrileges and by the coldness and contempt that they have for Me in this Sacrament of love...Therefore, I ask you that the first Friday after the octave of Corpus Christi be dedicated as a special feast to honor My Heart, that the faithful receive Communion on that day, making reparation to It by a solemn act of amendment for the indignifites It has received while exposed on the altars.
I promise also that My Heart will open to wield abundantly the influence of Its divine love on those who do It this honor..." Jesus' words to Saint Margaret Mary as quoted in Saint Margaret Mary, Apostle of the Sacred Heart by Ruth Fox Hume
