June 8, 2018: Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

How wonderful to encounter once again an image on this day that Father Hurlbert used as a driving force in his homily on Ash Wednesday, as this Feast comes toward the end of a collection of feasts whose dates are determined by when Resurrection Sunday falls.

As we pondered throughout Lent, so this day we marvel at the immense love God shows us in Christ, Who bestows on us immense mercy that flows forth from His wounds at the Crucifixion.  Although His love is so great and almost unfathomable, the marvel is that He brings us into a relationship with Him so we can better comprehend His powerful love that passionately pursues us, so that we draw toward Him just as passionately.
