Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Pray in thanksgiving with us for the Consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

When we are in the state of Grace, Christ’s Spirit is our own Spirit!  He established the Holy Eucharist. He wanted to be food for our body and soul.  He hid Himself in the bread. He invites us to Mass, which is going on every day and minute all over the world. And He made His sacrifice, mine.  But there is still one thing needed – my will.  I have to go to the Mass, and offer my heart, and unite myself to Him.  He gave everything, yet my will is still needed so that His sacrifice would be mine.

God is willing to give us His utmost, everything! But it is still necessary that my will would be united to His.  I have to unite my will to His. It is a matter of telling Him, and proving it, by using all the opportunities He sends.

Bow down before Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Thank Him very wholeheartedly for His all-giving love.  Ask Him sincerely to open your eyes to see the great reality that is Himself, and myself.  Ask Him to make my heart meek and humble according to His own Heart.

Matthew 11:28-30

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

Heart of Jesus, desire of the everlasting hills, have mercy on us.

Heart of Jesus, obedient to death, have mercy on us.

Heart of Jesus, fountain of life and holiness, have mercy on us.

Jesus, meek and humble of Heart, Make our hearts like unto Yours.
