The Four Beatings of the Sacred Heart
From the first instant of His conception until His death Love reigned as King over the Son of God made man. This Love had its counterpart in the Sacred Heart. One Christmas day Mechtilde was allowed to fathom this secret. Taking the Infant God in her arms she pressed Him to her breast, and felt the beatings of the Sacred Heart. She heard three loud, quick beats, then one lighter. Mechtilde was astonished.
The divine Infant said to her:
“My heart did not beat like those of other men, but always as you have heard it, from My infancy until My death, and this was why I died so quickly on the Cross.
The first beat comes from the Almighty power of My love which was so strong in me that by sweetness and patience it conquered the opposition of the world and the cruelty of the Jews.
The second beat comes from a love full of wisdom; it led Me to conduct Myself and all that was Mine so admirably, and to regulate all that is in heaven or on earth so wisely.
The third comes from a love of mildness I was so entirely penetrated with it, that for Me it changed this world’s bitterness into sweetness, and caused Me even to find sweet the hard death I bore for the salvation of men.
The last beat, more faint, expresses the kindness I showed as man, which rendered Me agreeable to all, and even imitable.”
And so the Sacred Heart enshrines an almighty, a most wise, and an infinitely sweet love of God as well as an agreeable and human love.

Jesus:
"Again, he who carries something precious and of great value girds himself carefully, for fear he should lose it, so I am carrying the precious treasure, man’s soul, and have girded Myself with care, and I carry the souls of all those who are to be saved, with love and untold desires, in My Heart."

Religious #Indifferentism is the perverse opinion that it is possible to obtain eternal salvation by the profession of any kind of #religion, as long as “morality” is maintained.
Appeal of Religious Indifferentism
- It unites all religions and philosophies
- It's positive (no more "Thou shalt not")
- It sets us free
- It respects our opinions and preferences, our dignity as humans
- It respects our culture and history

Who could describe the ardent desires of the Heart of Jesus for the salvation of souls? “Come here and rest at My feet,” He said one day to Mechtilde; obeying at once, she rested her head on Jesus feet, so that her ear was just over the wound in His foot, and there she heard the sound as of water boiling in the wound. Our Lord asked her what was the sound she heard. Mechtilde thought she could not tell, and our Lord continued: “This boiling caldron seems to say: Hasten! hasten! So the ardent love of My heart ever urged me on, saying: Hasten from labour to labour, from town to town, from preaching to preaching, never allowing Me any rest, until I had done all that was necessary for Your salvation.”

Modern manifestation of indifferentism: false ecumenism
- Vatican II: Unitatitis Redintegratio. Conversion to the One True Church is replaced by convergence of churches to the Church of Christ as if the Catholic Church was not the Church of Christ.
- Vatican II: Lumen gentium. "The Church of Christ subsists in the Catholic Church" implies a distinction between the Church of Christ and the Catholic Church.
- JPII: Ut unum sint. 13. ..Indeed, the elements of sanctification and truth present in the other Christian Communities, in a degree which varies from one to the other, constitute the objective basis of the communion, albeit imperfect, which exists between them and the Catholic Church.
To the extent that these elements are found in other Christian Communities, the one Church of Christ is effectively present in them. For this reason the Second Vatican Council speaks of a certain, though imperfect communion. The Dogmatic Constitution Lumen Gentium stresses that the Catholic Church "recognizes that in many ways she is linked" 14 with these Communities by a true union in the Holy Spirit.

The four words of the voice of His glory
There are still other words which reveal the greatness of the love of the Sacred Heart “the four words of the voice of His glory,” as He calls them Himself. They are each a triumphal hymn of the Sacred Heart; they are more, they are a proclamation of His love. Let us listen to our Lord:
“This is the voice of My glory. When a soul repents of its sins more through love than through fear, and weeps for the sins it has committed, it deserves to hear these words from Me: ‘Thy sins are forgiven thee, go in peace (Luke 7:48). And, indeed, as soon as anyone repents sincerely of the sins he has committed, I fully forgive him and receive him into My favour as though he had never offended Me.
“The second voice of My glory is that which a soul united to Me by intimate prayer and contemplation hears from Me: Come, My beloved, show Me Your face.’
“The third is when a soul about to leave the body is sweetly invited to rest: ‘Come, My elect, and I will make of you My throne (Office of Virgins).
“The fourth voice of My glory shall be heard on the Day of Judgment, when I will invite with triumph to My Kingdom of honour and glory all those whom I have chosen from all eternity. I shall say to them: ‘Come ye blessed of My Father, possess the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world'” (Matthew 25:34).
The words of glory of the Sacred Heart are those which make us happy.

“The #feasts! what memories this word brings back to me. How I loved the feasts!
I loved above all the processions in honor of the Blessed #Sacrament. What a joy it was for me to throw flowers beneath the feet of God! Before allowing them to fall to the ground, I threw them as high as I could and I was never so happy as when I saw my roses touch the sacred monstrance.”

“Strewing Flowers is offering you as first fruits
My slightest sighs, my greatest sufferings.
My sorrows and my joys, my little sacrifices,
Those are my flowers!”

To take #pride in practicing the #homosexual #vice and to proclaim this in public in the streets and squares of the world’s leading cities is a sin of the spirit, a challenge to the Law of God. It is a denial of reality as such and an adhesion to a utopia and to a pathological fantasy.
It is a manifestation of #Lucifer’s pride and a repetition of his desperate cry of revolt, “I will not serve.”

The tears of Jesus
The tears of Jesus were gathered together and are kept in His Heart. Notwithstanding the burning flames of which that Heart is the seat, they are not consumed.
Let us draw near to the precious treasure which contains them. Somewhere there we shall find a tear shed for ourselves, but let us bring our own so that they may be sanctified, even those we shed for frivolous reasons.

Whoever exalts #race, or the people, or the #State, or a particular form of State, or the depositories of power, or any other fundamental value of the human community - however necessary and honorable be their function in worldly things - whoever raises these notions above their standard value and divinizes them to an idolatrous level, distorts and perverts an order of the world planned and created by #God; he is far from the true faith in God and from the concept of life which that faith upholds.
(...)
This God, this Sovereign Master, has issued commandments whose #value is independent of time and space, #country and race. As God's sun shines on every human face, so His law knows neither #privilege nor exception. Rulers and subjects, crowned and uncrowned, rich and poor are equally subject to His word. From the fullness of the Creators' right there naturally arises the fullness of His right to be obeyed by individuals and #communities, whoever they are. This #obedience permeates all branches of activity in which #moral values claim harmony with the law of God, and pervades all integration of the ever-changing laws of man into the immutable laws of God.
