Dear Friends in Christ,

From Dom Prosper Guéranger on the Sacred Heart:

A new ray of light shines today in the heaven of Holy Church, and its light brings warmth. The Divine Master given to us by

our Redeemer, that is, the Holy Ghost, Who has come down into this world, continues His teachings to us in the sacred Litur-gy. The earliest of these His divine teachings was the Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity; and we have adored the Blessed Three

in One: we have been taught Who God is, we know Him in His own nature, we have been admitted, by faith, into the sanctu-ary of the infinite Essence. Then this Spirit, the mighty wind of Pentecost, opened to our souls new aspects of the truth, which

it is His mission to make the world remember (John 14: 26); and His revelation left us prostrate before the Sacred Host, the Memorial which God Himself has left us of all His wonderful works (Ps. 110: 4). Today it is the Sacred Heart of the Word

made flesh that this Holy Paraclete puts before us, that we may know, love and adore It.When the Sacred Heart of Jesus was pierced on Calvary, the Church, His Bride came forth from His Side, together with the Water which cleanses Her, and the Blood which was to be Her dower. Just as God cast a deep sleep upon Adam, that He

might form Eve, his spouse, from his side, so did the Second Adam endure the sleep of death, that His Spouse, the Church, might come forth from His pierced Side.

Christ has given His Spouse full power over that Sacred Heart of His, from which She has issued. There lies the secret of allthe Church's power. In the relations existing between husband and wife, which were created by God at the beginning of the

world, and (as the Apostle assures us) in view of this great mystery of Christ and the Church (Eph. 5: 32), man is the head (1 Cor. 11: 3), and the woman may not domineer in the government of the family. The woman has power still, but she must

address herself to her husband's heart, and gain all by love. If Adam, our first father, sinned, it was because Eve used, and for evil, her influence over his heart, by misleading him, and us in him. Jesus is a Savior to us, because the Church has won His

Heart; and that human Heart could not be won, without the Divinity also being moved to mercy. And here we have the doc-trine of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, as far as regards the principle upon which it rests. In this its primary and essen-

tial notion, the devotion is as old as the Church Herself, for it rests on this truth, which has been recognized in every age: that Christ is the Spouse, and the Church is His Bride.

The Fathers and Doctors of the early ages had no other way than this of expounding the mystery of the Church's formation

from Jesus' side; and the words they used – though always marked by that reserve which was called for by so many of their hearers being as yet uninitiated – were taken as the text for the sublime and fearless developments of later ages. "The initiat-ed," says St. John Chrysostom, "know the mystery of the Savior's fountains; from those, that is, from the Blood and the Wa-

ter, the Church was formed; from those same, came our Mysteries; so that, when thou approachest the Sacred Chalice, thou must come up to it, as though thou wert about to drink of that very Side of Christ."

The Sacred Heart, as the expression of Jesus' love, was not treated of in the writings of the Fathers and early Doctors with

the explicitness wherewith the Church would afterwards put It before us. For this end, Our Lord Himself selected certain privileged souls, through whose instrumentality He would bring the Christian world to a fuller appreciation of the conse-

quences which are involved in the principles admitted by the whole Church.

Try This Title: Why Is There Hell?

In this moving study on hell,

Dr. Scott Hahn shares what

scripture teaches about why

hell is necessary. What it is

like? Who goes there? How

can you stay out forever? He

explains why Lucifer refused

to serve and then responds

from a scriptural perspective

to the most seductive modern errors about hell.

Included are two bonus excerpts from Dr. Hahn's talk, The Healing Power of Confession.
