The aim of the little Society of the Sacred Heart 
is to make known to people all the treasures
of love and mercy that this adorable Heart contains,
and to urge them to give themselves to him.
(Règles 1855, p. 1)



The aim of the Chevalier Family in the world is ... ?

Form his earliest year it is uncompromising fidelity
to what he judges to be the will of God
that characterises Jues Chevalier.
(E.J. Cuskelly, The Spirit of Fr. Founder, Ms.)



"Uncompromising fidelity"
To listen ... like a disciple (Is 51:4)
A constant attentiveness ...
The will of God ...

God's gift was not a spirit of timidity,
but the Spirit of power and love (2 Tim 1: 7).
I can do all things in him who strengthens me (Phil 4: 13).
(J. Chevalier quoting St. Paul in Le Sacré-Coeur, p. 201)



With what personal gifts does God strengthen you
to live your life with confidence and peace?

Jesus is the unique revelation of God's infinite goodness,
the universal Eucharist.
(J. Chevalier, Le Sacré-Coeur, p. 76)



"The universal Eucharist"
What image do these words bring to your mind, your heart?

Jules Chevalier had a candid humility
 combined with an admirable spirit of Christian simplicity
that gives all glory to God and takes no credit to oneself.
(C. Piperon, MSC, le T.R.P. Chevalier, 1899)



Simplicity ... Humility ...
How might these virtues be expressed differently today,
compared to Chevalier's time?
