Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Reflection by Fr. Thomas Rosica, C.S.B. - The devotion to the Sacred Heart offered a tender, compassionate spirituality that helped to renew the church and counter Jansenism's severity and sectarianism. If there are adjectives that describes the modern world, they are loveless and preoccupied with the present and immediate that they give almost no thought to eternity and the everlasting joys that await those who have served God faithfully here on earth. Only a healthy heart strong and supple can give and receive lifeblood. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus heal our coronary infirmities.

I like the way priest is talking about God's Most Precious Love. But the type of Love Jesus shows in the world is a Celestial Love - it's not an impure love as that expressed on Valentine's Day - it's a love shown like a Father with his beloved son or daughter. Jesus is spoken of well by this priest, the Holy Wound of Jesus is the the lanced wound you see on his Sacred Heart. We see indeed a great love that is flowing out as a fountain of blood, water and mercy. It's love at its greatest here.
