The Sacred Heart

May 29, 2008 by norbertinevocations

The Solemnity of the Sacred Heart invites us to make reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus for all the manifold sins which cause that Heart such pain. St. Hermann Joseph, whose feast we celebrated last week was the first to write a devotional hymn to the Sacred Heart. May he and all the saints of the Order pray for us.

Summi regis cor, aveto,
Te saluto corde laeto,
Te complecti me delectat
Et cor meum hoc affectat;
Ut ad te loquar, toleres.

Quo amore vulnebaris!
Quo dolore torquebaris,
Cum te totus exhaurires,
Ut te nobis impertires
Et nos a morte tolleres!

O mors illa, quam avara,
Quam immitis, quam amara,
Quae per cellam introivit,
In qua mundi vita vivit,
Te mordens, cor dulcissimum!

Propter mortem, quam tulisti,
Quando pro me defecisti,
Cordis mei, cor dilectum,
Totum in te fer affectum;
Hoc est, quod opto plurimum.

Per medullam cordis mei,
Peccatoris atque rei,
Tuus amor transferatur,
Quo potenter vulneratur,
Quicunque te complectitur.

Illo fonte me fecunda,
Salva, sana, fove, munda,
Ex te laute qui manavit
Totum hominemque lavit,
In te hasta dum flectitur.

Dilatare, aperire,
Tamquam rosa fragrans mire;
Cordi meo te coniunge,
Unge illud et compunge;
Qui amat te, quid patitur!

Quidnam amat, nescit vere,
Nec se valet conhibere,
Nullum modum dat amori,
Multa morte vellet mori,
Amore quisque vincitur.

Vivas! vivas! tibi clamo,
Dulce cor, te namque amo;
Ad cor meum inclinare,
Ut se possit applicare
Devoto tibi pectore.

Tuo vivat in amore.
Ne dormitet in torpore;
Ad te oret, ad te ploret,
Te adoret, te odoret
Te fruens omni tempore.

Rosa cordis, aperire,
Cuius odor fragrat mire;
Te dignare dilatare,
Fac cor meum anhelare,
Dulcem odorem sapiat.

Ad te trahe tu cor meum
Nec me spernas, pie, reum,
Ut iam tibi sit vicinum,
Infer intra tuum sinum,
Ut se in te inveniat.

Hic repauset, hic moretur;
Ecce, iam post te movetur,
Te ardenter vult sentire,
Vult patenter introire,
Ut bene de te sentiat,

Tu tuorum iam dulcedo,
Ego totum tibi me do,
Totus in te introire
Volo, noli contraire,
Cor tuum me suscipiat.

    For more information on the life and work of the Canons Regular of Prémontré at St. Philip's Priory please visit our web-site or contact the Vocations Director.
  • The Canons Regular of Prémontré (also known as Premonstratensians, Norbertines and White Canons) were founded by St. Norbert in 1121. The five marks of the Order are; Praise of God in the Divine Office, Zeal for Souls, A Life of Penance and Mortification, Love for Our Immaculate Mother and Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. The Canons are both active and contemplative and to this end are engaged in a great diversity of apostolates.

    The Canons first came to Britain in 1143 and at the time of the Dissolution had already established some 48 houses. In 1872 the Order was re-established in this country and in 2004 our Canonry became an independent canonry of the Order.
