Homily of the Pontiff Samuel
Solemn Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

Let yourselves be filled with lov
so that you may be one
with the Only-Begotten Love who is Life

(Draft: Automatic Translation)

Alive is the joy that fills our hearts, and today this joyful heart wishes to unite itself with the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, whom we celebrate today (Papal Decree, “Solemn Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus”, 19 June 2022), so that this joy of the children, united with the Joy of the Son, may bring joy to the Heart of the Father (Jn 15:11), in that one Harmony of Heaven and Earth which leads the children to be in communion of heart, soul and spirit with the Son, so that they may bring joy to the Heart of the Father who is Life, from whom Life came into being and into whom Life, united with His faithful children, will return, will find its rest, so that Joy may be full and complete (Jn 17:13): “As it is in Heaven, so it is on Earth” (Mt 6:10), for Earth and Heaven shall be made new (Rev 21:1) to live in a single Dimension, where the children may walk together with Jesus, the Man-God, and together with Mary, and together with the Holy Father, in that Garden where everything began and where everything will culminate (Gen 2:8), in a triumph of Joy of the Son and of the children, united with the Father.

This is the Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus which Mother Church celebrates this Sunday, wishing to honour the Heart of Jesus in its fullness. Behold, this joy continues, just as we experienced on the Feast of the Child Jesus: an overflowing joy, an endless joy, just as endless is the Love that the Child Jesus wished to bestow upon all His children, listening to every prayer, welcoming into His Heart every invocation made with sincerity of heart, so that no one might or can leave empty-handed (Mt 7:7–8; Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “The Holy Place of Jesus’ Return”, 19 February 1995). This is the Promise that Jesus made to His Maiden and which He renews, in the knowledge that all those who come to honour Him and pray to His Most Sacred Heart with a sincere heart will not leave empty-handed, but their hands will be full, just as their hearts will be even fuller, filled with the Only-Begotten Love that is Christ and Mary (Lk 1:53).

Behold the Joy of the children in being filled with the Love that gives Life, the Love that saves, for He who saves will save us, for ‘God Saves’ is His Name (Mt 1:21).

Behold the Army of Mary, which will make itself known ever more, just as it did on the Feast of the Child Jesus and just as it will always do: you, beloved young people, armed with a single ‘weapon’ which you have raised high towards Heaven and which you must always raise high: the Crown of the Holy Rosary, the only holy ‘weapon’, that ‘weapon’ which will overcome every other weapon, which will drown out the clamour of arms and war, so that the one Song, the one Melody that the Father wishes to hear, may be heard: the song of praise to Mary, to Her Most Sacred Heart; the song of praise to Jesus, to His Most Sacred Heart. Two Hearts fused into the one Heart that is Life, into the one Heart that is Love, the Only-Begotten Love.

“Heart of Jesus, our only hope! Heart of Mary, our only refuge!” (Booklet “The New Jerusalem, Land of Love”, To the Most Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary). Here is the prayer of God’s children which rises up today to honour the Heart of Jesus, which is united and fused with the Heart of Mary. Here are these two Hearts which are a Refuge for God’s children, and which are Certainty, for in the New Jerusalem one lives in Certainty, because the Promises of the Son of God are being fulfilled one by one; and hope has given way to Certainty, for those who live in the Blessed Land live in the Certainty of the Fulfilment of the Redeemer’s Promises (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “The Dwelling Established by Jesus”, 9 March 1997).

This is our Faith, anchored on solid foundations, anchored on Holy Scripture (Mt 7:24–25) and on all that the Holy Spirit unveils and reveals to us in that one Work which is not yet finished, but which continues and will continue until the end. For the Holy Spirit will blow strongly to guide the children along the one Way that will lead them to live eternal Life (John 16:13). Behold, all that has been revealed is being fulfilled and will be fulfilled (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “The Year One of the New Era”, 31 December 1994).

Great is the joy. Great is the love. Give love to the Son of God.

Become love yourselves so that you may nourish His Heart. You have understood correctly: to nourish His Heart. Why? Because He who is Love, pure Love, and who gives Himself entirely to bestow Himself—Love made flesh (John 1:14)—in His fullness, in turn nourishes Himself on the pure and holy love of those who are His children. It is a Communion of Love, of heart, soul and spirit; therefore of pure and holy Love, true and vital (Act of the Magisterium, “The Communion in the One Faith: Christ”, 11 May 2025).

Here is Jesus, as He said to His Maiden, who makes Himself a “beggar for love” (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “The Year One of the New Era”, 31/12/1994). Give love to Him who is Life. Give Him your heart so that His Heart may nourish and refresh you, help you grow and become as He is. To do this, you need Love; you need to be in Communion with His Heart in that One and Only Love which is Christ and which is Mary.

Let Mary help you. What seems difficult or humanly impossible becomes an everyday reality in Mary (Lk 1:37); just as the Most Holy Mary said to Her Maiden: “Whoever takes your hands has already set out on the path that leads to the Father’s Heart.” The Father’s Heart: Source of Life; the Father’s Heart: Haven of eternal life. Clasp those Hands, take them and hold them tight, and never let them go again (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “The Return of Jesus”, 30 October 1994). Let those Hands lead you to the Father’s Heart, through the work of the Holy Spirit, who acts as a mediator, so that every imperfection, every ‘rough edge’, may be smoothed out and levelled, enabling you to come into the Father’s presence, pure and spotless. This is the Work of the Spirit, so that we may present ourselves before the Heart of the Father, who is Life, just as Mary presented herself: wholly beautiful, wholly holy, wholly pure; and no stain of sin was found in her.

Do the same, dear brothers and sisters, children of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, who have sprung from His Side, from whence Water and Blood flowed forth for your salvation (Jn 19:34): Spirit and Life. Leave behind what is of the flesh, ‘the flesh is of no avail’ (John 6:63); leave behind what is of the world, which flatters you, squeezes you dry and then casts you aside (1 John 2:15–17). Not so with God, for our God is Love; He gives Himself, He takes the first step, to protect His children, to love His children completely (1 John 4:10, 19). This is our Jesus. This is His Most Sacred Heart: a Heart that beats with Love for His children and which asks for love from every child: He will comfort the cry of these little ones that you are now hearing; He will heal every wound; He will restore the sick to health; He will restore sight to the blind (Luke 4:18); He will raise them from the dead, for this is our God, the Almighty (John 11:25).

Have faith in His Most Sacred Heart and consecrate yourselves every day to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and you shall lack nothing (Revelation of Jesus to Maria G. Norcia, “Mary, I consecrate myself to You”, 10 March 1986). So be it.
