Happy Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus!

Whether statues or stained glass, the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus can be found in churches all over the world, including ours. Jesus looks out, one hand extended and another pointing to a heart glowing with light. In the Sacred Heart, we see both the sorrow and the joy of the life of Christ, who became one of us out of love. "Jesus knew and loved us each and all during his life, his agony, and his Passion and gave himself up for each one of us? He has loved us all with a human heart" (CCC 478). In the Incarnation, God becomes man. Jesus experienced the fullness of humanity, including its sufferings. Today we remember all that Jesus endured for us. In addition, we also remember why he endured it - out of love.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee.
