Jesuit On The Sacred Heart Of Jesus And Its Impact On Those Recieving Holy Orders


From the preface of the book

THE DEVOTION TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS. 
"Ever since I was placed by my
Superiors at the head of
the theological seminary at
Innsbruck, it has been my
firm persuasion that the blessing
of God which rests upon
it is proportioned to and goes
hand in hand with the zeal
wherein with the devotion to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus
is promoted and practiced in that
Institute. And with no
less certitude have I told myself
that the candidate for
the priesthood who knows and practices this devotion will
assuredly acquire the sacerdotal spirit and the virtues
proper to a priest in preparation for receiving Holy Orders,
and that it will also furnish him with a sure means of
maintaining and preserving the spirit of his sacred calling
unto his life's end."
Fr. Hieronymus Noldin, S.J.
