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.
