Sacré Coeur mosaic
From 'The Revelations of the Sacred Heart of Jesus' by St Margaret Mary Alacoque:
"He made known to me the ineffable marvels of His pure [love] and showed me to what an excess He had loved men, from whom He received only ingratitude and contempt."I feel this more,"[He said] "than all that I suffered during My Passion. If only they would make Me some return for My love, I should think but little of all I have done for them and would wish, were it possible, to suffer still more. But the sole return they make for all My eagerness to do them good is to reject Me and treat Me with coldness. Do thou at least console Me by supplying for their ingratitude, as far as thou art able."
My sermon for today's Solemnity can be read here.
This mosaic of the Sacred Heart with the Pope offering the world to Christ is in the apse of the famous Basilica of Sacré Coeur in Montmartre, Paris.
