June 27, 2025: Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

God's love is so beyond our sense of love.

Jesus gave a picture of it in teh parable of the lost sheep.  It doesn't make sense that someone would seek one lost sheep, yet the shepherd in this story rejoices in finding the lost sheep.

As our Good Shepherd, Jesus sought us when we strayed like lost sheep.  He revealed the depths of God's divine love by dying for us upon the Cross.

We can now stake everything on Him, because He loved us enough to die for us, and now, as our Risen Lord, leads us, as the Good Shepherd, into Eternal Life.

Indeed, we are called to be devoted to Jesus Christ by opening ourselves to the Love God pours into our hearts so we can bring that love to others that truly changes us and the world.

We furthermore rejoice that 350 years ago, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque received visions of the Sacred Heart that drew us back to beholding the immense Divine Love revealed by the Sacred Heart.

It is so far beyond our comprehension, yet through revelations, we know it is real, especially as God works it into our hearts.
