St. Thomas Aquinas says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“I have come to help souls to see that Jesus longs to draw all souls into His Sacred Heart. To do so, the soul needs to embrace Holy Love. There is no other port of entry. This portal of Holy Love is clothed always in the Truth, for Holy Love is the Truth.”

“Let's look at the ways that this Truth can be compromised, thus making entry to the Sacred Heart less accessible.”

“The first is any form of vanity. Vanity concerns itself with how others perceive the individual, either in importance or physical appearance. The soul loses sight of what really matters and that is how God sees him.”

“Then there is the unbridled love of pleasure which takes the soul off the path of Truth. This may be too much attention to comforts, sexual pleasures or forms of entertainment. These all appeal to disordered self-love when taken out of context for which God desires.”

“Perhaps the soul depends on other people more than he depends on God's Divine Will and Provision. This is a snare of the fowler and a trap for many on the road to personal holiness.”

“If the soul does not lend his heart to prayer, he is not in serious pursuit of the Refuge of the Sacred Heart and must look with honesty at what is obstructing the way.”

“Truth must win out in hearts in order for souls to abide in the Heart of Jesus.”
