Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me, a poor, ungrateful sinner.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me, a poor, ungrateful sinner.
—Luke 12:48
How low you have fallen this time!
Begin the foundations from down there. Be humble.
Cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies. God will not despise a contrite and humble heart.
—Saint Josemaria Escriva
Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot in hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil as sorcerers do who practice black magic, and even if you are a heretic as obstinate as a devil, sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your life and will save your soul, if—and mark well what I say—if you say the Holy Rosary devoutly every day until death for the purpose of knowing the truth and obtaining contrition and pardon for your sins.
Saint Louis de Montfort
