Blessed Gaetano Errico: His Inspiration  
“THE WORD OF GOD BECOMES LIKE A FIRE BURNING IN MY HEART.”
  —Jeremiah 20:9

Blessed Gaetano Errico, founder of the Missionaries of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, deeply identified with these words from Jeremiah, describing his own heart aflame with love of God. Throughout his life, he felt God's love to be a purifying flame, often saying, “I want to be totally burned in the flames and fire of God's love.”

In the introduction to the rules for his missionary congregation, Father Errico beautifully explains the way the Father reveals His love to the world and what response that burning love must bring forth in the hearts of all. “The Eternal Father, in bestowing His divine Love on the hearts of all, chose before all others the most Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, wishing to avail themselves of our assistance, have graciously called us, the Missionaries of the Sacred Hearts, to share this Holy Love with the poor of heart. Therefore, the first goal of the Missionaries of the Sacred Hearts is to toil to make known to all people the most ardent love of the Sacred Hearts for us, and to kindle this holy and divine Love in the hearts of all humanity.”

“LET US KINDLE THE LOVE OF THE SACRED HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY IN THE HEARTS OF ALL PEOPLE.”
  — Blessed Gaetano Errico
