HEARTS BURNING WITH LOVE
The feast of Sacred Heart is the feast of God’s love for mankind as manifested through Jesus Christ. Today’s celebration is an echo of Good Friday; an invitation to immerse ourselves in the source of that immense love which brought about our salvation. The Church calls us to discover God’s love as reflected in the heart of Jesus. The liturgy reminds us that “lifted high on the cross, Christ gave his life for us, as much did he love us. As we prepare to celebrate the Eucharistic sacrifice, the sacrament of Christ’s love for us, let us be sorry for all our sins of ingratitude and coldness towards Him and His sacrament of love.
Close to the Heart of the Son is the Heart of the Mother whom the Church celebrates the day after the solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Let it again be the Holy Father who illuminates us with regard to this mystery: “The heart that resembles that of Christ more than any other is without a doubt the Heart of Mary, his Immaculate Mother, and for this very reason the liturgy holds them up together for our veneration. Responding to the Virgin's invitation at Fatima, let us entrust the whole world to her Immaculate Heart, which we contemplated yesterday in a special way, so that it may experience the merciful love of God and know true peace”.
