He will Clasp Me

                      
                         "I stay inside the stronghold:  that is, the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus."
 
                        "His goodness no one has fathomed, no one can measure,
                         His compassion is untold.  
                         Every soul that approaches Him experiences this.  
                         He will shield her and clasp her to His merciful bosom."  

(St. Faustina, Divine Mercy in My Soul, Marians of the Immaculate Conception, #s 1287 and 1652)

    "Inside the stronghold" for there, and only there, are we safe!
