Every First Friday, the Entrance Antiphon reads: "The thoughts of his heart last through every generation, that he will rescue them from death and feed them in time of famine." It is consoling to know that we, today, occupy a place in the thoughts and heart of Jesus. He knows exactly what we are facing, what is going on in our hearts, our hopes, dreams, fears, regrets, frustrations, hungers and challenges. We pray, "Lord God, give us the strength and love of the heart of your Son, that by becoming one with him, we may have eternal salvation." Imagine if our hearts could expand so much that we could love with the strength and depth of the heart of Jesus! It takes surrender and a complete turning over of all that is in our hearts to him. "Lord, I surrender all to you. Everything is in your hands." Simple, to the point. Gone are worry, anxiety and fretful anticipation of what "might" happen, "if".... As he feeds us with "the best of wheat" in the Eucharist, surely he will answer this prayer when it comes in faith and from the depths of our being.
