ANNOUNCE IT, AND LET IT BE ANNOUNCED TO THE WHOLE WORLD, THAT I SET LIMITS OR MEASURE OFMY GIFTS OF GRACE FOR THOSE WHO SEEk THEM IN MY HEART- The words of our Lord to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque.
As the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.” (John 1:9) These breathtaking words reveal the profound connection of love within the Holy Trinity—an awe-inspiring bond that invites us to experience the very essence of God!
Today, we’re called to set our hearts ablaze with the incredible love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This is an invitation to immerse ourselves in a love that surpasses all understanding, to love, care, and forgive just as Jesus does. Imagine seeing Him more clearly each day, loving Him more dearly, and following Him more closely in our everyday lives! Through the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we have access to the boundless mercy and forgiveness of God—divine grace overflowing with blessings!
And here’s the breathtaking truth: When Jesus was pierced with a lance, blood and water flowed from His side, revealing the depth of His love for us. Although our sins pierced His loving heart, He remained sinless, carrying the weight of our struggles while inviting us into His embrace. We may stumble and fall short of His glory, but Jesus is ever-present, reaching out as our truest friend—there’s simply no one like Him!
So let’s make our actions and reactions reflect this stunning understanding of Christ’s love! May our lives radiate His love and service to honor His name. Let’s embrace the journey with excitement, ensuring that we never lose sight of what truly matters as we reach the end of our days. Amen!
HAPPY SOLEMNITY OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
