Oh Heart of Jesus

Jesus says to Josefa " I want you to burn with love of Me. I have already made it clear to you that you will find happiness nowhere but in My Heart. I want you to love me...I hunger for love...but I also want you to burn with desire to see Me loved, and this must be the one food of your soul"
Josefa told Jesus many endearing thing and He continued; Every day after Communion repeat with all the fervor of which you are capable:
"Heart of Jesus, may the whole world be set on fire with Thy Love"


Jesus explained to Josefa how to love enhances the smallest acts:
"When a soul does a costly act out of self-interest or to please herself, but not out of love, she gains little merit.
On the other hand, a very little thing offered with great love consoles My Heart so much that it inclines towards her, and forgets all her
worthlessness. Yes, My one desire is to be loved. If souls but knew the excess of My love they would not disregard it...that is why I go seeking them out and spare nothing to get them to come back to Me"
Josefa says Jesus said all of this in a very moving way; it was a veritable cry of Love.

"Much Blood poured from the wound in His Heart"

July 29th at 1PM
Jesus returned with His Cross. "I have come to make you share in the bitterness of My Heart, which is oppressed with sorrow"

Jesus gave Josefa His Cross, which at once plunged her whole being into the pain she already experienced these last 2 days.

"Much blood poured from the wound in His Heart" Jesus told her to repeat after Him
"Eternal Father,look upon souls reddened with the blood of Thy Son Jesus Christ, the Victim which is unceasingly offered Thee. Will this blood which purifies, burns and consumes, be powerful enough to touch these souls?

Jesus remained in silence for a few minutes. Josefa repeated the words several times; then He spoke with energy; "yes, I want them to return to Me. I want them to burn with love, while I am consumed for them with sorrowful "
Jesus added sadly "Ah, if souls only understood how ardently I desire to communicate Myself to them! But how few do understand...and how deeply this wounds My Heart"

Josefa writes "From 1-4pm I spent in offering His blood and all His merits to the Father, and in repeating the prayer He had taught me"
