Today is the feast of The Sacred Heart of Jesus. Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary and showed her His heart. A heart burning with fire for love of us. With a cross at the top of it, to show that is how He saved us, out of love He gave himself for us.
It is surrounded by thorns, not the crown of thorns we think of at His passion, but He said these thorns are from the people who claim they love him and don’t live it.
We are called to become like Jesus. As we grow in our discipleship, we should meditate and focus on how much on fire for love of God and love of others is our heart?
Are we willing to sacrifice for God and others, as He did for us? Can we heal the wounds of the thorns that pierced Jesus’ heart and other people's hearts by our love?
May we all grow and make our hearts like Jesus Sacred Heart.
