下課後，小學三年級的老師坐回她的椅子，有人輕輕的敲門，一個學生走進來。

   「修女，我忘了拿書，我可以拿嗎？」

    老師回答：「當然。」她繼續改作業，找到了書以後，愛琳走到老師那兒說：

   「修女，我很喜歡今天早上妳教我們的那段經文，我不斷的唸。」

   「那段經文？」

   『耶穌聖心，我信賴祢！』

   「那是很美的經文，希望妳永遠記住，因為妳信賴耶穌聖心，祂會保護妳不受傷害。」

   「我確信祂會在危險中保護我，因為我常常誦唸。」

幾天後，愛琳在回學校途中，當她正在穿越一條多岔路口時，車輛從四面八方而來，她來不及安全的走過人行道，一部車子已來到她面前，她很快的吸一了一口氣，唸『耶穌聖心，我信賴祢！』

她被車子的擋泥板卡住，拖了一段路，當受驚的司機煞住了車，發現她毫髮末傷，群眾聚攏來問她是否受傷。

她簡單的回答：「當然沒有！我說『耶穌聖心，我信賴祢！』祂照顧了我。」

愛琳回到家，告訴母親所發生的事，施太太想到她女兒碰到那麼可怕的一幕，竟然逃脫了，不禁臉色蒼白，全身發抖，滿心熱誠的說：

「感謝天主，我把女兒送到天主教學校讀書，她在那兒學到了信賴耶穌聖心！」

22.Trust in Sacred Heart of Jesus

     The class had been dismissed and the teacher of the third grade had seated herself at her desk again, when a tap came at the door and one of her pupils entered.

        “Sister, I forgot my books, may I please get them?”   “Certainly,”  replied the teacher, as she continued to correct the papers upon which she was working.   After the books had been found,  Irene came to the desk and said,  “Sister, I just love that prayer you taught us this morning and I have kept saying it every little while.”  “Which prayer, dear?”   “Sacred Heart of Jesus,  I place my trust in You!”   “It is a beautiful prayer and I hope you will never forget it, for if you trust the Heart of Jesus, he will keep you from all harm.”  “I am sure He will keep me from danger, for I say it lots of times.”

        A few days later, on her return from school, Irene ran, while crossing the street, in front of a streetcar and, as there was traffic coming and going in all directions, she could not reach either sidewalk in safety.   Quickly breathing the aspiration,  “Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!” she was caught up on the fender of the car and carried along for some distance.  When the terrified driver was able to control the brakes and stop the car, she was found to be uninjured.  A crowd assembled and, when asked if she was hurt, she simply said, “Of course not!  I said  ‘Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!’ and He took care of me.”

        When Irene reached home and related what had happened to her mother,  Mrs. S., pale and trembling at the thought of the awful fate her daughter had escaped, fervently said,  “I thank God that I have sent my child to a Catholic school where she has learned to place her trust in the Heart of Jesus!”
