Lent 24 ~ The Seal of Love

The sacred heart of Christ is an inexhaustible fountain and its sole desire is to pour itself out into the hearts of the humble so as to free them and prepare them to lead lives according to His good pleasure.

~ St. Margaret Mary Alacoqué

24

          Today, on a Friday of March, St. Margaret Mary’s quote leads me to ponder the 5th Wound of Christ: the wound from the side to His very Heart. Wanting to be taught by it, I pray to Our Lady to guide me. I believe She leads me to St Padre Pio who was said to have received this 5th wound on the eve of the Feast of Transfiguration.

          And then, I read the words of St Pio’s spiritual director to him on this 5th wound,

cherish tenderly this wound which is the seal of love
