The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Today was the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Fr. Michael explained to us in his homily that today is a good day to ask Jesus for what we need or want. Not that we will get it, but a very good day to ask.

Two important considerations of this beautiful Feast day.

1) People often do not believe in Jesus's profound love for us. We can ask Him to give us the graces and Love that other people refuse from Jesus. 

Jesus's heart is the source of all consolation; all people in heaven are dying for the heart of Jesus. His love is raging for us. He wants us to believe in his love for us.

2) Jesus calls us for reparation for our lack of Love. We often reproach Jesus for taking things away from us (ie. you took my daughter away from me, etc). His heart is bruised from our reproaches; from our refusal of His love for us. 

Some people look down upon the Eucharist, and or receive Communion unworthily.

St. Therese Lisieux said I will take all the Love that others reject. Jesus, give me the love that is rejected by others. 

Fr. Michael suggested that we say the Litany to the Sacred Heart of Jesus every day. What a beautiful way to pray to the Sacred Heart.

St Michael the Archangel pray for us

I had a dream. I was in a building with multiple floors in it and I was in a room like a classroom. There was a man there who came up very close to me within my space and I didn't like it. He made my skin crawl. The next thing I knew I was leaving the room and he reached his hand inside my purse and took my wallet and moved away from me. I remember next that there were four of these men and I was trying to escape them and I was running through doorways, and down multiple staircases, through the building trying to escape them. I ended up in a room with a lot of people in it. All of a sudden the men appeared in the room with me. I couldn't figure out how they were able to track me into the room since I had taken a circuitous route to get there. But there they were, with me again. And then I began to recite the Saint Michael prayer and as I recited it they moved away from me. I continued to recite the prayer, and as I recited it, and when I started saying it very loudly, they would disappear through the walls away from me. When I took a break from reciting the prayer they would return. I continued to recite it very loudly and in fact my voice became hoarse. At one point one of them jumped over a railing from a balcony and disappeared. He didn't return. I don't know what happened to him. Then I woke up.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
