everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God.
Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love."
REFLECTION
The Sacred Heart of Jesus is God's boundless and passionate love for mankind. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced by our sins and for our salvation, "is quite rightly considered the chief sign and symbol of that love with which the divine Redeemer continually loves the eternal Father and all human beings" without exceptions. (CCC 478)
The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is our ultimate PAPA Patron.
I do believe that God allows us to fail so that we can rush to our sanctuary -the Blessed Sacrament --and spend time with Him with our doubts and concerns. In the quiet of adoration, we can hear the angels singing and feel the powerful renewal of the Holy Spirit's love for us.
In His beautiful heart we find His wisdom and prudence. The outcome is not to try to bend His heart but in humility let Him show us how to follow His love. God has loved us first. He has shown us how to love. Be not indifferent to the joy, sorrow or grief of others. Because of His love, we can make the struggles of others more pleasant.
Be quiet and visit with Him in silence. Receive His promptings and His wisdom so as to live according to His will.
May the Sacred Heart of Jesus always give us the strength to do good in spite of our fear of failure. We can live out the loftiest challenges of love if He places it in our hearts. His love for us saves us, brings us peace and eternal life.
To such love, there have been many sins and mockeries committed. Such is the situation we find ourselves on this specific Solemnity today.
The USCCB is asking all to pray and offer reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in response to the offensive honoring of a blasphemous group by a professional baseball team. This group mocks our Lord, His Mother and consecrated women in a lewd and vulgar way. It is offensive and blasphemous. The Litany of the Sacred Heart will be offered with the intention of repairing the spiritual damage inflicted by sin.
Please include in your prayers the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus today and every day in reparation for the many offenses and blasphemies against our Lord in our culture today.
