The Sacred Heart of Jesus: The Golden Arrow - fine art print
The original acrylic painting with silver leaf and 23K gold leaf on wood panel is available as a metallic finish print measuring 8 x 10", giclee fine art print printed on matte fine art paper or as a metal print (printed on metal sheet, with hanging system on the back) sizes 8x12 and 12x18. The last image shows the metal print.
It depicts the Sacred Heart of Jesus along with the traditional symbolic elements: aflame with the fire of eternal love and surrounded by the crown of thorns. The bleeding wound continues below the heart transitioned through blood drops into the Holy Eucharist, embodying this way the act of Transubstantiation. The Golden Arrow piercing the Holy Heart has a beautiful significance - it represents the Act of Reparation against Blasphemy.
The actual Prayer is handwritten on two side panels which flank the Sacred Heart.
Along with the prayer, the artwork stands as a beautiful reminder to use this God sent devotion.
The prayer written on the side panels reads as follows:
THE "GOLDEN ARROW" PRAYER given from Our Lord to Sr. Mary of St. Peter
MAY the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified, in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.

This prayer was dictated by our Lord Himself to Sister Mary of St. Peter. Opening His Heart to her, our Savior complained of blasphemy, saying that this frightful sin wounds His Divine Heart more grievously than all other sins, for it was like "a poisoned arrow."
After that, our Savior dictated the prayer, which He called "The Golden Arrow," saying that those who would recite this prayer would pierce Him delightfully, and also heal those other wounds inflicted on Him by the malice of sinners.
