Sacred Heart of Jesus

Today, as we think about the Sacred Heart of Jesus, call to mind that this Jesus loved us as the sinners we would be.  His love was so real that he was willing to die for us even before we were born.

Think of this:  we might not have this feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus had the Son of God not accepted the Father’s invitation for him to take on our human nature.

Think of this, too:  Jesus not only came to live among us to save us but he suffered terrible humiliation and pain to bring about the fullest of redemption for each of us who would ever walk the face of the earth.

All that you and I endure, except sin itself, Jesus understands through his living the human experience.

So, as you look at the artist’s rendition of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, isn’t it a moment to express most sincere gratitude and humble realization of the abundance God has poured into your life?
