The Sacred Heart and the Priesthood

Mother Louise Margaret Claret de la Touche, a Visitation sister, was commissioned first by Our Lord, then by her religious superiors to write this book based on her lifetime conversations with the Divine Master. Its purpose is to strengthen the souls of priests in the love of their sublime vocation and unite them more than ever to Jesus Christ, the eternal Priest and to give the faithful a greater confidence in and more religious and filial respect for the orders of the sacred hierarchy. The Holy See has declared her writings to be in conformity with the teachings of the Church and has sanctioned the organization of priests, which she had drawn up under the name of "The Priests Universal Union of the Friends of the Sacred Heart.
