Companion - October 16,2013 GOSPEL We remember today St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a French saint often credited with the founding of the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She is not the only one to have contributed to the development of this devotion. St. John Eudes is another important figure in the history of the Sacred Heart devotion. There is a very beautiful church in Paray-le-Monial where Margaret Mary received a vision of the Sacred Heart, the image of which I find full of vibrancy and joy, and much prefer to the traditional images we see in the statues that we find today. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord; I know them, and they follow me. Luke 11:42-46 42 The Lord said: “Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint and of rue and of every garden herb, but you pay no attention to judgment and to love for God. These you should have done, without overlooking the others. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! You love the seat of honor in synagogues and greetings in marketplaces. 44 Woe to you! You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk.” 45 Then one of the scholars of the law said to him in reply, “Teacher, by saying this you are insulting us too.” 46 And he said, “Woe also to you scholars of the law! You impose on people burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them.” LIST think: The devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus will leave us full of vibrancy and joy.
