Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

The heart of Jesus is a heart that is moved to pity for a hungry crowd; that
looked with love on the rich young man; that sympathized with the widow of
Naim. This heart groaned and wept over the death of Lazarus. And most of all
this heart was pierced with a lance and shed the last drop of its blood on the
cross for our salvation.
In this Eucharistic banquet let us come and approach Jesus’ heart which
keeps on burning with love that we may learn from Him the way of compassion
and mercy, thus making our heart burn with love for Him and for our neighbor.
