Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

Reflection

“Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love.” –1 John 4:7-8

Prayer

Divine Love,

On this holy day, we take comfort in your boundless love for humanity and ask for a share in the sacred heart of Jesus. Renew our strength in these challenging days, to love our neighbors in the way Jesus did, with joy and gladness as much as sacrifice. May we always remember that, if we claim to know you, we are called to reveal it in the ways that we show our love for another. Today and each day, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Do I consider myself a religious or spiritual person? Reflect upon the concrete ways that my convictions are revealed in my actions towards the neighbors around me.
