The following is my husband's reflection on the Sacred Heart - and keep up the good work you all do.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, burning with love for men.
Men who have abandoned you, time and again.
On the cross you gave your life for all.
In the loneliness of the tabernacle, you wait for us to call.

In times of trouble you are always there
To console and show your loving care.
Devotion to your Sacred Heart may vary,
Yet how can we forget your promises to Saint Margaret Mary.
