Sacred Heart

What a wonderful mystery, the Sacred Heart of Jesus! There we discover so many secrets about God and about ourselves.

In his great mercy and wisdom, God choose to become Man. So instead of being distant, far away, and hard to comprehend — the Lord closed the gap. He came down to our level to teach us and to serve us.

God as Man is one of the greatest mysteries ever revealed to humankind. And it makes complete sense. How else could we possibly get to know God, if not in human form?

The Creator revealed himself to us as a human. That way he shows us how to live and how to love. He shows us how to love with a completely human heart.

I led them with cords of compassion,
    with the bands of love,

Hosea 11:4

Sacred Heart

A child’s heart. Innocent and pure.

A curious heart that watched, listened, and learned.

A heart that grew in strength and wisdom.

A pierced heart. Deeply wounded, bleeding for others.

Is your heart that much different than mine?

I cannot love as you do.

I cannot love the Father like you do.

I cannot love all humankind like you.

But you, O Lord, chose to live like me and hurt like me. You did not hide your heart from the pain.

Any darkness in my heart, any weakness or fear… these things tempt me to harden my heart. I try to close the door.

But you say to me, Wait for me child.

You offer your heart to me, wide open, giving and forgiving.

You move past the pain to set me free.

And so, I find myself in a spacious place. A place full of the light of the Lord.

There I roam freely in the meadows of your grace.

And there I find many others who have been set free by the love of the Lord.

What great joy to find oneself in the Sacred Heart of Jesus!
