Devotion to the Sacred Heart and give forgiveness as Jesus wants

- The Divine Heart of Jesus spoke clearly and loudly: The whole divine law is summed up in two commandments: love of God and love of neighbor. Without these two loves it is impossible to please the Lord, it is impossible to enter heaven.

But few understand well what love of neighbor is. It is believed that in order to love one's neighbor, it is enough not to hate him, not to harm him. No this will be from simple men, not from good Christians. Love is operational and must manifest itself by doing to others what we want or want to be done to us. The generous and meritorious proof of this love is given by the exercise of works of mercy.

Jesus considers everything done to the poor in his name as done to himself. And when some friend or acquaintance is infirm, do you look for half an hour to visit her, to say a good word, to console her in her pains, to animate her to patience, to the holy resignation to the will of God?

- Material alms cannot always be given; however, a word of comfort can always be given to the afflicted: it is like a conditioner applied to a plague. Sometimes you will have been offended; did you pout, did you immediately avenge yourself, or did you remember that the best revenge is forgiveness? So did Jesus, so did the Saints.

Sincerely forgive, forget the offenses received, if you want the Lord to forgive and forget yours.

Perhaps you will also be forced to live and work with people of character and tendencies contrary to yours. Well bear patiently the faults of others, and you will be endured too. See how many means you can show your love to others, in how many ways can you enrich yourself with merits? That if none of this you can do, remember that prayer is always at your disposal.

It is Jesus who tells you: Pray for those who persecute and slander you. Even for the dead you can always pray, especially for the most abandoned souls of Purgatory, for those who perhaps suffer because of you, for those you may have offended, damaged. For all these works the S. Heart suggests a memory to you. Keep it in mind: When you do a good work, keep it in the secret of your heart.
