Solemnity of Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Within the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we find all we need to understand the plan of salvation. It is a heart that is full of love, mercy, and grace. It is a heart that was pierced for our offenses. It is a heart that poured out its blood to wash away our sins. It is a heart rooted and grounded in love. It is a heart that is filled with compassion of God. It is a heart that can beat within each of us if we allow it. It is a heart that can fill us with the fullness of God.

Do we give thanks for the Sacred Heart of Jesus? How can we be more rooted and grounded in God’s Love? How can we make our hearts into dwelling places for Jesus?

O Lord, strengthen us with your Sacred Heart.

Amen.
