I dare say that God in His omnipotence could not give more; in His wisdom, He knew not how to give more; in His riches He had not more to give(than Himself).–St. Augustine
Love divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heaven to earth come down;
Fix in us thy humble dwelling;
All thy faithful mercies crown!
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation;
Enter every trembling heart.
The Heart of Christ is the clearest image of the fullness of God embracing all things. By this we mean the fullness of mercy which is the special characteristic of the New Testament. (Pope Pius XII)
Devotion to the Sacred Heart is the most excellent form of religion. (Pope Leo XIII)
Lord Jesus Christ, I bellieve in You as my God and Savior. Make me more faithful to Your Gospel by sharing in the Eucharist often. May I come to live more fully the life of grace You have given me. Keep Your love alive in my heart that I may become worthy of You. Teach me to value Your gifts and ever be grateful for them. Help me to strive for eternal life.
The font of life which spills over the whole world flows from the wounded Heart of Christ.(Lateran Baptistry)

Mary’s love is the most perfect reflection of the love of the God-Man possible in a human being. So perfect is the union of these two Hearts that we now use the expression “The Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary”. If one is deeply moved by the love of the Son, one cannot fail also to be moved by that of the Mother.
(Fr. Bertrand Weaver, C.P.)
