Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen. Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

Today is the feast of St. Margaret, Mary, Alicoke, to whom Jesus revealed his sacred heart and devotion to his sacred heart.

In fact, this took place on December 27th, 1673.

Margaret Mary relates, while I was praying before the Eucharist, Jesus presented himself

to me all resplendent with glory, his five wounds shining like so many sons, flames issued from every part of his sacred

humanity, especially from his chest, which resembled an open furnace and disclosed to me his most loving heart, which was the living source of these flames.

It was then that he made known to me the indescribable and

excessive love he has for all people, most from whom he receives only in

gratitude and contempt.

My divine heart, he told me, is so passionately fond of the human race

that it cannot keep back the pent up flames of its burning charity any longer.

They must burst out through you and reveal my heart to the world.

So as to enrich mankind with my precious treasures.

I'm letting you see them now and they include all the graces of holiness needed to snatch men from the very brink of hell.

Then Jesus asked for her heart and she begged him to take it and he did and he placed it in his

own divine heart and he let it he let her see it there a tiny atom being completely burned up in that fiery furnace

then lifting it out now a little heart-shaped flame, he put it back where he found it.

Then he said to her, there, my well beloved, that is a precious proof of my love for you, hiding in your heart a little

spark from its hottest flames. This will be your heart from now on and it will burn you up to the very last breath

and its intense heat will never diminish.

The fire of God's love.
