And since there is in the Sacred Heart a symbol and a sensible image of the infinite love of Jesus Christ which moves us to love one another, therefore is it fit and proper that we should consecrate ourselves to His most Sacred Heart-an act which is nothing else than an offering and a binding of oneself to Jesus Christ, seeing that whatever honor, veneration and love is given to this divine Heart is really and truly given to Christ Himself.

For these reasons We urge and exhort all who know and love this divine Heart willingly to undertake this act of piety… but shall We allow to slip from Our remembrance those innumerable others upon whom the light of Christian truth has not yet shined? We hold the place of Him who came to save that which was lost, and who shed His blood for the salvation of the whole human race. And so We greatly desire to bring to the true life those who sit in the shadow of death. As we have already sent messengers of Christ over the earth to instruct them, so now, in pity for their lot with all Our soul we commend them, and as far as in us lies We consecrate them to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In this way this act of devotion, which We recommend, will be a blessing to all. For having performed it, those in whose hearts are the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ will feel that faith and love increased. Those who knowing Christ, yet neglect His law and its precepts, may still gain from His Sacred Heart the flame of charity. And lastly, for those still more unfortunate, who are struggling in the darkness of superstition, we shall all with one mind implore the assistance of heaven that Jesus Christ, to whose power they are subject, may also one day render them submissive to its exercise; and that not only in the life to come when He will fulfil His will upon all men, by saving some and punishing others, (St. Thomas, ibid), but also in this mortal life by giving them faith and holiness. May they by these virtues strive to honor God as they ought, and to win everlasting happiness in heaven. // Pope Leo XIII, Annum Sacrum, 1899

From the earliest days of her life as a member of a religious community, Sister Marie-Léonie was drawn by the idea of giving material and moral support to help priests in the work of educating the young. She intuitively understood the idea of “the common priesthood of the faithful” that would be highlighted at the Second Vatican Council. Inspired by the example of Mary and the faithful women who followed Jesus during his life on earth, she wanted to serve Christ, to be a disciple and a witness, by collaborating with priests in their ministries and by improving the quality of life of the young people who attended the colleges. “It seems to me that priests need auxiliaries in their apostolic work and no one seems to be aware of this. … This thought haunts me without let-up and strangely upsets me,” she wrote.

Mother Marie-Léonie’s faith meant that she saw and served Christ in the person of the priest. The important thing was the spiritual dimension of the priesthood: “Redouble your courage and generosity in the service of God in the person of his ministers and in their works,” she urged the nuns. “Think of the favour God will deign to give as you collaborate in the beautiful work of education.”

Bishop Paul LaRocque would say that she spent her life giving herself away: “She always had her arms open and her heart was transparent. She was always ready with a hearty, open laugh, welcoming each person as if they were God himself. She was a woman of the heart.” Her generosity was not limited to her religious family. No matter how poor her community might have been, she responded without hesitation to all needs.

“Our mission in the Church is to help the priest on the temporal and spiritual planes,” she wrote. “But what it really demands as a supreme witness is for us to love one another and to love all people, not with just any love, but with all the love that God wants to give them. We must therefore repeat without tiring that our principal work is to give love.” // cccb.ca
