In honor of the sacrifices so freely given of Miguel Terrazas and our own Karl Linn...
The hymn at Lauds of the Sacred Heart:
O Heart of Jesus, ark divine
That doth love’s Latter Law enshrine
The grim Old Law of servitude
Thou didst annul upon the Rood.
O Lord, thus Thou Law’s temple art;
Its Holy Place Thy Sacred Heart;
Whose rended veil doth well unfold
A worth beyond Law’s shrine of old.
Thus willed Thy love to open wide
A wound upon Thy sacred side,
Through which to shew how sins impart
Wounds else unseen, hid in Thy Heart.
Its blood and water (two-fold sign)
Shew priestly sacrifice divine,
First offered on the bloody Tree,
Now on our altars bloodlessly.
Though sinners, Thou didst die for us!
Who can but love One loving thus?
Thou, in Thy Heart, hast made a place
Of refuge for our lawless race.
We give Thee praise, who dost impart
Such grace, O Jesu, from Thy Heart;
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost , for evermore. Amen.
AMEN! Ma, on both posts.
