First Religious Professions in Portugal

On September 5, novices Luiz Henrique Costa Santos (Portugal), Serhii Barnych (Ukraine), and Karlo Cicvarić (Croatia) consecrated their lives to God within the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

In Eucharistic adoration, it is a friend speaking to his friend about the interests of his love
We do not lead people by compelling them, but by inspiring them
Let us work for the mission of the Heart of Jesus with a true and pure love
It is an ardent and unmixed friendship that Our Lord desires
To know Jesus and to love Him is to live
Only with love can the wounds of the heart be healed
Between us and Our Lord, it is a relationship of friendship and a community of goods
The Eucharist is nothing but love, love carried to its ultimate limit
There is nothing to seek in the Gospel other than the love of Jesus
Meditating on the Heart of Jesus, there is no other source
Friendship is the cement of hearts
It is hearts that Our Lord desires, undivided hearts
Always seek to do the will of God
To obey is the spirit of Jesus Christ
Reparation only removes the obstacle that sin put between us and love
When the hand is at work, the heart must be with God
We must go straight to union with Our Lord, always and in everything
Jesus wants hearts that are generous in sacrifice and in love
With Jesus we have everything, let us not despair
The Heart of Jesus is the sun that enlightens us through His Gospel
In union with Our Lord, we will find light in our doubts
The source of all perfection is peace of heart
I am not capable of suffering much, but I can pray much with Him
Father Leo Dehon
