Will You Save Souls?

By Ferdinand Schoberg, S.J.

"|7 our out of every five persons

in the world (about 2 billion)

are not in the true Church in this

20th century of Christianity. Ap-

proximately four out of every five

persons in the United States do not

have the true Faith. Though on the

increase, conversions to the Catholic

Church in our country take place at

the rate of less than one in a

thousand in a year. There is leak-

age from the Church, the extent of

which is hard to calculate. Cockle

grows in the midst of good wheat.

So many millions of souls live in the

darkness of error and confusion. Al-

though God gives, in ways mysteri-

ous to us, sufficient grace to all to

be saved, so many seem in imminent

peril of eternal loss. Almost every

second someone somewhere in the

world dies and faces God’s judgment.

Most of those who die do so without

the consolation of Christ’s sacra-

ments.

— 3—



Who will save so many souls?

God wishes their salvation. He gives

sufficient grace to all. The God-

man, Jesus Christ, “gave Himself a

redemption for all.” Yet salvation

depends on the free acceptance of

God’s redemption. It depends, too,

in God’s wisdom, on the free co-

operation of other human beings.

That is why Christ established a

Church. There would be no need of

it if souls were not to be saved

through the help of human beings

empowered by God to teach, forgive,

sanctify, and offer sacrifice in His

name. Through Christ and His

Church comes abundant grace to

win—almost overpower—the way-
ward, weak, and rebellious will of

modern man. But the Church, under

Christ, operates through human be-

ings, with all their shortcomings.

Many priests and missionaries gen-

erously preach Christ’s truth and

dispense His sacraments. But there

are far too few of them. “The

laborers are too few. Pray ye there-

fore the Lord of the harvest that

He send forth laborers into His

harvest.”

— 4—



All Walks of Life

The need of more laborers in the

vineyard is patent. Not too obvious,

and perhaps greater, is the need

of apostolic-minded Catholics in all

walks of life. In 1948, Pope Pius

XII said: “Baptism grafts a man

into the Mystical Body of Christ.

No one worthy of the name of Chris-

tian can sanctify himself and yet

ignore the eternal salvation of others

forgetting ‘that the Lord gave to

everyone a commandment concerning

his neighbor’.”

How many Catholics realize that
they have an obligation, in charity,

to do something toward the salva-

tion of their neighbors? The com-

mand to love others as ourselves, and

even to love one another as Christ

loved us, cannot be fulfilled without

concern for the salvation of others.

There is need for both Catholic Ac-

tion and apostolic prayer. Souls can

be saved through Catholic Action

but not without apostolic prayer and

sacrifice offered to win the grace

needed for conversion. There is no

one who cannot help to save souls at

least by apostolic prayer and sacrifice

united in spirit with Christ’s sacrifice

— 5—



perpetuated on our altars. With good

reason did St. Paul write to Timo-

thy: “I desire therefore first of all

that supplications, prayers, interces-

sions and thanksgivings be made for

all men. . . . For this is good

and acceptable in the sight of God

our Saviour, who will have all men

to be saved, and to come to a knowl-

edge of the truth. For there is one

God, and one Mediator of God and

men, the Man, Christ Jesus, who

gave Himself a redemption for

all . . .” (1 Tim. 2:16).

Almost 2 billion persons in the

world (130 million in the United

States) are not in the true Church!

Nearly four out of every five ! Why?

Too few vocations to the priesthood

and religious and missionary life is

one reason. Ignorance is another.

Obstinate rejection of God’s grace

is still another. But, could an im-

portant reason be that four out of

five Catholics do not even think

about these souls? Or how to help

them? There is an easy, efficient

way for everyone to help save souls,

a way taught by the Heart of Christ

:

the Apostleship of Prayer.

— 6—



The Apostleship of Prayer

The Apostleship of Prayer began

at Vais, France, in the year 1844.

Father Francis Xavier Gautrelet,

S.J., inspired young Jesuit students

who were preparing for the priest-

hood and possible missionary life, to

be missionaries in spirit, at home,

while still training. He suggested

that they offer to God daily their

prayers, duties, studies, and sacri-

fices to beg God’s help for the mis-

sionaries in the field and the graces

needed for conversions. The sug-

gestion was accepted, was soon

adopted in neighboring villages, in

churches, convents, and other insti-

tutions, and also spread throughout

France and to other countries.

In 1861 came the impetus which

made of this Apostleship a world-

wide movement. Father Henry
Ramiere, S.J., who taught philosophy

at Stonyhurst, England, and at Vais

and Toulouse in France, and also

wrote on controversial and devo-

tional themes, issued a book which

has become a classic. It was on the

Apostleship of Prayer. The subtitle

was most interesting: “A League of

Christian Hearts united with the

— 7—



Sacred Heart of Jesus to obtain the

salvation of the world and the tri-

umph of the Church.” He made the
Apostleship of Prayer an Apostle-

ship of the Heart of Christ. In 1861

he also published the first Messenger

of the Sacred Heart as an organ of

the Apostleship of Prayer.

With papal approval, from the

time of Pius IX until the present

day, and the granting of as many as

198 plenary indulgences through the

years, the Apostleship of Prayer

spread through the world, multiply-

ing local centers and members. With

it grew the practice of First Friday

Communion of reparation, the de-

votion of the Holy Hour, and other

devotions to the Sacred Heart. To-

day it is estimated that there are

nearly 40 million members of the

Apostleship of Prayer in the world,

including about 6 million in the

United States. The membership in-

cludes bishops, priests, religious, lay-

men, laywomen, and children. One

wonders how many of these are

active. If the Popes could have their

way, all Catholics would be members.

Pius XI said in 1927: “There are

many apostolates: the apostleship of

— 8—



prayer, the apostleship of action, the

apostleship of the pen, the apostle-

ship of the spoken word, and even

the apostleship of money. . . . These

various apostleships, however, can-

not be for all; for where there is

no possibility there can be no duty.

Nevertheless all must practice the

apostleship of prayer, because all

can pray. Such an apostolate is the

only one which is truly possible for

all, and for that reason a duty for

all. . . .” [Italics mine.]

In 1948, His Holiness, Pius XII,

wrote: “We, like Our Predecessor

of happy memory, Pius XI, have

made known and once more most

willingly declare that it will make

Us very happy if all the faithful

without exception enlist in this

sacred militia and swell the army

of Associates. . . .” [Italics mine.]

Our Lord Appeals

In urging Catholics to become

members of the Apostleship of

Prayer, the Popes, vicars of Jesus

Christ, are seconding His appeal.

The Son of Man spent three years
in teaching, working miracles, and

founding His Church, less than three

— 9—



days in His passion and death. He

spent a lifetime in prayer. He lived
a prayer for 33 years in Nazareth,

in a workshop, in the temple, in a

desert, in the mountains, in His

teaching and miracles, in a supper

chamber, in a garden, and even in

His passion and death. His living

prayer was constant union with His

Father through unceasing fulfillment

of duty, of His Father’s will.

In the cenacle Our Lord warned

the Apostles not to expect success in

their apostolate without union in

prayer and grace with Him : “As the

branch cannot bear fruit of itself,

unless it abide in the vine, so neither

can you, unless you abide in me. . . .

If you abide in me, and my words
abide in you, you shall ask whatever

you will, and it shall be done to

you. . . . Abide in my love.”

He taught us to pray : “Our

Father, who art in heaven, hal-

lowed be thy name. Thy kingdom

come. . . .” And He assured victory

through prayer: “If you ask the

Father anything in my name, He

will give it you. . . . Ask and you

shall receive.”

Revelations of the

Sacred Heart

When in 1673 or 1674, and there-

after Our Lord revealed His flaming

wounded heart of love to St. Mar-

garet Mary Alacoque in a Visitan-

dine convent chapel at Paray-le-

Monial, France, He appealed really

for an Apostleship of Prayer. He

asked for human love and reparation

—reparation through sacrificial acts
of love, suffering, Communions of

reparation, Holy Hours in union with

His agony, and a Feast of the Sacred

Heart. This reparation—an inti-
mate prayerful union—was to console
His heart by making up for the

ingratitude and contempt of other

souls, and by winning hearts to His

heart, helping Him to save souls.
For, as the saint says : “He made me

see that the ardent desire which

He had of being loved by men, and

of rescuing them from the path of

perdition along which Satan drives

them in crowds, had made Him

form this design of manifesting His

heart to men with all the treasures

of love, of mercy, of grace, of sancti-

fication, and of salvation that it

contains.” The devotion to His heart

— 11



“was, as it were, a last effort of His

love with which He would favor men
in these latter ages ... a loving
redemption to deliver them from the

empire of Satan.” And in it is all

that is needed “to rescue them from

the abyss of perdition.” In this

Apostleship of the Heart of Jesus

we can find the spiritual origin of

the Apostleship of Prayer which

makes of each day, and all the

actions thereof, a living prayer in

union with the heart of Christ for

the good of souls.

Papal Praise

In the light of Our Lord’s appeal,

we are not surprised to find His

Holiness, Pope Pius XII, highly

recommending the Apostleship of

Prayer. When approving the new

statutes of the Apostleship on the

Feast of Christ the King, October 28,

1951, the Holy Father said

:

1. “The statutes . . . show the

Apostleship to be a very effi-

cacious instrument of modern,

apostolic ministry, both for the

salvation of individuals and

for the general pastoral good

of souls.

— 12—



2. “This labor for the extension

of Christ’s kingdom . . . pro-

motes and puts to work those

supernatural means upon
which the real success of all

apostolic labor depends. . . .

Its energy is not dissipated in

externals.

3. “The daily offering of self is

the essence of the Apostleship

of Prayer. . . . All the sacred

practices of which the Apostle-

ship makes use to round out

and perfect this oblation
taken together, contain the

sum total of Christian per-

fection.”

A Way of Life

From what our Holy Father says,

and from a study of the new stat-

utes, one can easily see that the

Apostleship of Prayer suggests not

merely a few simple acts of devotion,

but rather a way of life, a road

along which anyone can walk, or

run swiftly, to the heart of God. He

does this however, not only for his

own salvation and sanctification: he

is eager to make his daily life a

fervent prayer for the salvation of

— 13—



souls and the spreading of Christ’s

kingdom. He may do this through

the adoption of three important

practices

:

1. Making daily, and trying to

live, an offering of all his

prayers, works, joys, and suf-

ferings in union with the in-

tentions of the heart of Christ

and those of His vicar on

earth, the Pope. Provided one

registers as a member at some

local center of the Apostleship

of Prayer in a parish, school,

or other institution, this daily

offering of self is the only

requirement. And this does

not bind under any penalty

of sin. Zeal prompts many

members to adopt also other

practices of the Apostleship.

The daily offering may be

made in any suitable formula

of words, or in one’s own

words. Custom in the United

States has established this

formula

:

“0 Jesus, through the Im-

maculate Heart of Mary, I

offer thee my prayers,
works, joys, and sufferings

— 14—



of this day for all the in-

tentions of thy Sacred
Heart, in union with the

Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

throughout the world, in

reparation for my sins, for

the intentions of all our

Associates, and for the gen-

eral intention recommended

this month.”

2. Uniting this daily offering, at

least in spirit, with the sacri-

fice of Christ perpetuated on

our altars, making a Com-

munion of reparation to the

Sacred Heart at least once a

month and, if possible, going

to Mass even during the week,

and receiving Communion in

a spirit of reparation fre-

quently.

3. Making the daily offering

through the Immaculate Heart

of Mary and asking her inter-

cession by saying the Rosary,

or at least a decade of the

beads, daily.

15—



Pastoral Care of Souls

Highly praising the way of life

offered by the Apostleship of Prayer,

His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, recom-

mends its use in the pastoral care

of souls:

1. “. . . the Apostleship of Prayer

offers the most perfect form

of Christian life and contains

within itself a rule and com-

pendium for the pastoral care

of souls. . . .

2. “If the reverend pastors will

introduce the flocks committed

to their care to the spiritual

practices of the Apostleship

of Prayer, they will satisfy

no small part of their pastoral

obligations . . and will be

“teaching their people to con-

sider the unbloody sacrifice of

the altar as the very center

of their lives. . . .

3. “We again commend the
Apostleship, thus fortified by

Our approval, to the Most

Reverend Ordinaries, confident

that in the future they will

zealously propagate it within

their respective jurisdictions.

— 16—



4. “We are sure that this Associa-

tion will in no way infringe on

the functions of other apostolic

activities, but will rather as-

sist them to greater holiness

by imbuing them with the

spirit of love towards God and

man which inflames the Most

Sacred Heart of Jesus and

kindles all with its own fire.”

The Perfect Devotion

Too little known today is the fact

that the Apostleship of Prayer is

the perfect devotion to the Sacred

Heart. Father Henry Ramiere, S.J.,

wrote long ago: “We do not see in

the Apostleship of Prayer a special

practice, but rather a spirit of de-

votedness impelling the Christian to

take to his own heart the interest

of the heart of Jesus, to make its

intentions his own, to pray and act

and suffer in union with its prayers

and sacrifices. We have the right to
say that the Apostleship of Prayer,

thus understood, is one and the same

thing with the devotion to the Sacred

Heart of Jesus.”

Note how His Holiness, Pope Pius

XII, emphasizes this. In 1948, wel-

coming to Rome the national direc-

— 17



tors of the Apostleship of Prayer,

better known in the United States

as the League of the Sacred Heart,

our Holy Father wrote : “Rightly

and deservedly can the Apostleship

of Prayer be called the perfect form

of the devotion to the Most Sacred

Heart of Jesus; and, in turn, the

devotion to the divine heart of Jesus

can in no way be separated from the

Apostleship of Prayer.”

What a challenge to any person,

family, parish, or diocese where

there is a desire for true devotion to

the Sacred Heart of Jesus!

A New Appearance?

There is reason to think that Our

Lord has again revealed His Sacred

Heart, in this century, and given

a message to our modern world. It

is reported also that He appealed

for what we have been describing

as an Apostleship of Prayer, showed

how it could be lived, and empha-

sized its tremendous value for the

salvation of souls. If this be true,

we are dealing with something of

momentous importance which de-

serves serious, and even detailed,

consideration.

A new book, The Way of Divine
Love, was published by the Newman

Press, Westminster, Md., in 1949.

The subtitle reads: “The Message of

the Sacred Heart to the World and a

Short Biography of His Messenger,

Sister Josefa Menendez, Coadjutrix

Sister of the Society of the Sacred

Heart, 1890-1923.” When a first

small volume on this subject was

published in 1938, Cardinal Eugenio

Pacelli wrote a letter of approval of

the publication. Now as His Holi-
ness, Pius XII, he has explicitly

permitted the publication of a fac-

simile of the letter of 1938 in the

new larger book, The Way of Divine

Love. His letter, in part, reads: “I

have no doubt that the publication

of these pages, filled as they are with

the great love which His grace in-

spired in His very humble servant

Maria Josefa Menendez will be agree-

able to His Sacred Heart. May

they efficaciously contribute to de-

velop in many souls a confidence

ever more complete and loving in

the infinite mercy of this divine

heart towards poor sinners such as

we all are.”

Does this book contain a new mes-

sage from the heart of Christ? New

— 19—



revelations in our century? Within

our lifetime?

The permission to print his earlier

letter does not mean that our Holy

Father officially says, or implies, that

The Way of Divine Love contains
new private revelations. The Church

has not officially approved message

or messenger. She has permitted

publication of the mystical experi-

ences of this religious soul, without

official assent as to whether they

are private revelations or not, be-

cause there is nothing in them

against faith or morals, and they

may help private devotion. The truth

of the supernatural events related

must be judged solely on human

authority and credibility.

The Sane Attitude

In matters of this kind, it is well

to guard against two extreme atti-

tudes. The first is that of the over-

skeptical person, who will have noth-

ing to do with private revelation,

forgetting that God has spoken fre-

quently, through private revelation

before the birth of His Son and after

His Ascension, to arouse the Chosen

People, and now those in His Church,

— 20



to believe more strongly, and live

more thoroughly, the truths in His

public revelation. The other extreme

attitude is that of the overcredulous,

who look for, and run after, “new

revelations” without caution, reason,

or patient waiting for Church guid-

ance. The sane attitude is that

which cautiously weighs the facts

with an open mind, and awaits the

guidance of the Church with an open

heart.

If the events related in The Way

of Divine Love are drawn from true,

private revelations, then we have in

this century, and within our life-

time, a challenging revelation of the

Sacred Heart, confirming those to

St. Margaret Mary, and paving the

way for the reign of Christ in the

world through love. And we have a

clear and strong appeal from the

heart of Christ for the salvation of

souls through an Apostleship of

Prayer. But even if the experiences

described could never be proven to be

private revelations, they are, never-

theless, a beautiful, vivid, inspiring,

and compelling re-presentation of the

infinitely loving and merciful Christ

of the Gospel and of the revelations

of St. Margaret Mary. Father H.

— 21—



Monier Vinard, S.J., who wrote the

valuable introduction to the book,

concludes with the significant words

:

Digitus Dei est hie! (“The finger of

God is here!”).

The Way of Divine Love

It is not for us to relate at length

what is in The Way of Divine Love.
A few salient facts will help.

The messenger, supposedly chosen

by Our Lord, was Maria Josefa

Menendez, a native of Madrid, Spain,

who was born February 4, 1890. On

February 4, 1920, she left Spain to

enter as a postulant the novitiate of

the Society of the Sacred Heart at

Poitiers, France. Her religious life

lasted until December 29, 1923, when

she died, fulfilling a prediction that

she would die before the end of the

year.

The apparitions were many. Scenes

are related of Our Lord revealing

His heart surrounded by thorns,

ecstatically beautiful and extending

His arms as if to embrace the world,

reliving phases of His passion, dic-

tating His message for the world

and for His chosen souls, asking

— 22—



Josefa to be His messenger and a

victim for souls, sharing His pas-

sion, etc.

The message may be summed up

this way:

1. Infinite love: “I am love. My
heart can no longer contain its

devouring flames.”

2. An emphasis on infinite
mercy: “My heart . . . stoops

to poor sinners with infinite

mercy. ... if only they knew

my heart. . . . Mankind is
ignorant of its mercy and

goodness.”

3. A vivid reminder of His pas-
sion.

4. The call, especially to conse-

crated and chosen souls, to

share His redemptive life by

uniting with Him in a spirit

of sacrificial, reparative love

and by offering their ordinary,

even their most insignificant,

actions for the salvation of

souls. This is the appeal for

an Apostleship of Prayer.

— 23—



Through Daily Duties

What is much to our purpose, in
these supposed new revelations, is

to call attention to the emphatic

pleading of the heart of Christ for

souls, coupled with an urgent appeal,

especially to priests, religious, and

chosen souls, to help Him save souls
by uniting all their actions every day

with the love and merits of His

Sacred Heart. A few quotations will
illustrate this.

September 1, 1921: “My love for
souls is so great that I am consumed
with desire to save them. But oh!

how many are lost, and how numer-

ous are those who are waiting for

the sacrifices and sufferings that are

to obtain for them the grace to for-

sake their evil ways. . . . However,

I still have many souls who love me

and belong to me. A single one of
them can purchase pardon for a

great many others who are cold and

ungrateful.”

February 26, 1922: “The world is

rushing headlong to ruin. I am in

search of souls who will repair the

many offenses that are committed

against the divine Majesty and I am
consumed with desire to pardon. . . .

— 24—



Yes, to pardon these dear souls for

whom I shed my blood. . . . Poor
souls, how many are lost. . . . how

many throw themselves headlong in-

to hell.”

November 25, 1922: “Poor souls,

how many are eternally lost. . . .

but how many, too, will regain life.

You cannot conceive how great is

the reparatory value of suffering
”

November 30, 1922: “The soul

who constantly unites her life with

mine glorifies me and does a great
work for souls. Thus if engaged in

work of no value in itself ... if she

bathes it in my blood or unites it to
the work I did during my mortal
life, it will greatly profit souls . . .

more perhaps than if she had

preached to the whole world . . .

provided first that the act is sanc-

tioned by obedience or duty and not

done from mere caprice; secondly,

that it is done in intimate union

with me, with great purity of in-

tention and covered by my blood.

“I so much want souls to under-

stand this! It is not the action in

itself that is of value; it is the

intention with which it is done.

When I swept and labored in the

— 25—



workshop of Nazareth I gave as

much glory to my Father as when
I preached during my public life.

“There are many souls who in the

eyes of the world fill important posts

and they give my heart great glory

;

that is true. But I have many hid-

den souls who in their humble labors

are very useful workers in my vine-
yard, for they are moved by love,

and they know how to cover their

deeds with supernatural gold by

bathing them in my blood. My love
goes so far that my souls can draw
great treasure out of mere nothing.

When as soon as they wake they

unite their whole day with a burning

desire that my Heart may use it for
the profit of souls . . . when with

love they perform their duties, hour

by hour and moment by moment

. . . how great is the treasure they

amass in one day ! ... I will reveal

my love to them more and more . . .
it is inexhaustible, and how easy it is

for a loving soul guided by love.”

[Italics mine.]

December 5, 1922: “All cannot

preach nor evangelize distant un-

civilized peoples, but all—yes, all

—

can make my heart known and loved

— 26—



... all can mutually help one another

to increase the number of the saved

by preventing the loss of many

souls. . . . and that, through my love
and mercy.”

Everyone Can Save Souls

The passages quoted above apply

especially to priests, religious, and

chosen souls. But they can be heeded

by all. They may have been really

dictated by Our Lord in private

revelations; and miracles, of which

there seems to be already some evi-

dence, may lend support to them,

or may not. In any event they give

a vivid description of the very

method of saving souls which the

Apostleship of Prayer in League

with the Sacred Heart offers—an
Apostleship of Prayer which the

Vicar of Christ on earth, Pope Pius

XII, invites “all the faithful without

exception” to join.

+ “When as soon as they awake they

unite their whole day with a burning

desire that my heart may use it for
the profit of souls . . . when with

love they perform their duties, hour

by hour and moment by moment”

—

when anyone follows this suggestion

— 27—



attributed to Our Lord in new revela-

tions, and actually recommended in

the Apostleship of Prayer by His

vicar on earth, “it will greatly profit

souls.” Thus, not only the mission-

ary in a foreign land, the priest

in his parish, the priest, brother

or sister in religious home or class-

room, and the monk or bride of

Christ in a contemplative monastery

can help, in the heart of Christ, to

win many souls; all can do so: the

mechanic working on an automobile,

the laborer in a factory or shop, the

salesman on his rounds, the secre-

taries and typists at their books

and typewriters, the doctor and nurse

in a hospital, the conductor of a

trolley and the driver of a taxicab,

the salesgirl in a department store,

the waitress in a restaurant, the

wife and mother in a home, the boy

and girl in grade and high school

and college, the shut-ins in homes

and institutions, the aged, the an-

guished in mind, the brokenhearted^

and those tortured with pain—all,
all of them can save souls, especially

when associated together in the

heart of Christ, by uniting daily

every prayer, work, joy, and suffering

with the love and intentions of that

— 28



heart. Each day can be thought-

lessly wasted. Or it can be made a

treasure for the good of souls. It

can become an unceasing prayer

which rises to heaven through the

transforming heart of Christ, to

bring infinite light to eyes earth-

bent and the merciful caress of

infinite love to hearts that are

troubled, fearful, have lost their way

and surrendered almost to despair.

Appeal to All

According to The Way of Divine
Love, on Tuesday, June 12, 1923,

Our Lord said: “I want to forgive.

I want to reign over souls and

pardon all nations. I want to rule

souls, nations, the whole world. My
peace must be extended over the

entire universe. . . . My appeal is
addressed to all : to those consecrated

in religious and to those living in

the world, to the good and to sinners,

to the learned and to the illiterate, to

those in authority and to those who

obey. To each of them I come to

say: if you seek happiness, you will

find it in me. If riches, I am infinite
wealth. If you desire peace, in me

alone is peace to be found. I am

— 29—



mercy and love ! and I must be

sovereign King. . .

And in an apparition the night of

that same day, as He renewed a gift

of flame from His heart: “I come to

consume you with fire and set you

alight. All my longing is to set
souls on fire. . . . those of the entire

world. . . . Alas!, they turn from

the flame, but I shall triumph, they

will be mine, and I shall be their

King. Suffer with me, that the

world may know me, and that souls

may come to me. It is by suffering

that love will triumph.”

New fire on earth? Fire from the
