The Cardinal, whose ardent devotion to the Sacred Heart is well known, had himself chosen for the occasion the Votive Mass of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, of which the text was distributed as a souvenir program at the church entrances. The French or the Flemish text, next to the Latin Words, gave to the faithful an opportunity to follow the ceremony in all its details and to seize its full meaning, which was a fervent outpouring of piety, of thanksgiving and supplication.
