A Thought for Today: Do You Have a Pharisaical Heart?

"The Pharisee is pious and fervent. He is even grateful. However, he expresses his gratitude from the height of his pedestal. His gratitude gives him one more reason to glorify himself. Not every form of gratitude is accepted by God. Therefore, in its very essence, gratitude must be based on the first pillar - the pillar of contrition. The self-assured Pharisee lacks contrition."  (The Two Pillars, pg. 69)

Reliance on God has to become the abandoning of oneself to Him. Lord let it be as you want, since You love me and know best what I need, and what those whom I love need, and what those whom I pray for need."
(The Gift of Faith, pg. 51)

 "The heart of God burning with love is a place of our refuge, it is the place where we are free and safe. It is like a fortress, where God protects each one of us."
(In the Arms of Mary, pg. 27)

The "12 Promises" 
Listed below are the "12 Promises" of the
Sacred Heart of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary to encourage all Catholics
to know and understand the benefit of practicing the Devotion
and to encourage all to take up its immediate practice.
  1. I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.
  2. I will give peace in their families and will unite families that are divided.
  3. I will console them in all their troubles.
  4. I will be their refuge during  life and above all in death.
  5. I will bestow the blessings of Heaven on all their enterprises.
  6. Sinners shall find in my Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
  7. Tepid souls shall become fervent.
  8. Fervent souls shall rise quickly to great perfection.
  9. I will bless those places wherein the image of My Heart shall be exposed and honored and will imprint My love on the hearts of those who would wear this image on their person. I will also destroy in them all disordered movements.
  10. I will give to priests who are animated by a tender devotion to my Divine Heart the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
  11. Those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in my Heart, never to be effaced.
  12. I promise you in the excessive mercy of my Heart that my all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the First Friday in nine consecutive months, the grace of final penitence: they will not die in my disgrace, nor without receiving their Sacraments. My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.

    (The Nine Fridays must be made in honor of His Sacred Heart, meaning, practicing the devotion and having a great love of His Sacred Heart. They must be on the first Friday of the month for nine consecutive months, and Communion must be received.)
