Love was the basis of the desires which devoured my soul. I felt a strong need to love the Lord. Many times during the day, my soul was gripped by this love as I saw the beauties of creation, the little creatures. I allowed myself to be transported by this feeling. My other desire was to "bring souls to the pierced Heart of Jesus". I felt internally a continuous impulse: at Holy Communion, in prayer, in my mortifications. I forgot about myself, I forgot about my wickedness and I prayed and offered myself unconditionally for the good of souls. United to these two desires, was one which occupied all my heart, my mind, my will: "to console the pierced Heart of Jesus". -Autobiography of Venerable Mother Maria Teresa Casini, Foundress



TO CONSOLE THE PIERCED HEART OF JESUS

"Christ has entrusted to our souls the mission of consoling the bitter anguishes of his crucified Heart. There are no humiliations comparable to those He receives from His unfaithful ministers; however, there are no joys to equal their conversion and penitence."
- Venerable Mother Maria Teresa Casini

TO JOYFULLY GIVE ALL FOR PRIESTS

As living members of the people of God, buried by Baptism in the death of Christ so as to rise and live with Him for God ... we are called to participate and to offer, by reason of the common priesthood, not just the Host immolated by the hands of the Priest but ourselves. "...a holy, immaculate host, acceptable to God, for Christ, with Christ, in Christ."
-Oblate Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Constututions
