THE
DEVOTION
TO THE
SACRED HEART OF JESUS.
PART THE SECOND.
The practice of this devotion.
In general by the practice of this devotion, nothing more is meant than the use of such means as are best calculated to render us true adorers and faithful imitators of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ. Now this practice is both interior and exterior. The interior practice consists in the inward acts of faith, adoration, love, hope, confidence, gratitude, and the like. The exterior practice consists in outward and visible acts, such as are meant to denote outwardly the inward devotions. Of this sort are prayers, novenas, confessions, and communions, visits to Jesus Christ
