The Sacred Heart of Jesus


Sacred Heart

Day 4, June 4, 2024

Let us make the joy of Christ complete by being of a single mind, one in love, one in heart and one in mind

   Philippians 2:1–5 (NJB): So if in Christ there is anything that will move you, any incentive in love, any fellowship in the Spirit, any warmth or sympathy—I appeal to you, 2 make my joy complete by being of a single mind, one in love, one in heart and one in mind. 3 Nothing is to be done out of jealousy or vanity; instead, out of humility of mind everyone should give preference to others, 4 everyone pursuing not selfish interests but those of others. 5 Make your own the mind of Christ Jesus.

    Many years ago, during a discourse, Br Joemon shared how this particular word of God makes us one in heart with Christ.He stated that we all Catholics venerate the picture of the Sacred Heart. At least one image will be displayed in each of our homes. What unites us, despite our differences is Jesus' love pouring from his heart. This month of June, of the Sacred Heart reminds us to ponder and commit our lives to Christ.

  “Practicing devotion to the Sacred Heart of Christ means adoring that Heart which, after having loved us to the end, was pierced by a spear and from night on the Cross poured out blood and water, and inexhaustible source of new life.” —Benedict  XVI. 

   Lord Jesus, we are unworthy to unite with your heart. But your only Thirst is uniting us with your heart.
