Today is the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, which, unfortunately gets lost in our busy world. We all love Fridays as the last day of the work week and the doorway to "our" weekend. Today is a special Friday, a First Friday and this honoring day of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, who through his words to St. Margaret Mary, initiated the devotion of the "Nine First Fridays." Blessed Basil Moreau, founder of the Order of the Holy Cross, says this: "The purpose of the feast of the Sacred Heard is really about returning love for love." The exposed heart of Jesus shows us the totality of his love for us, and as we remember, that his heart was pierced after he died on the cross, therefore the wound never heals. His heart is open all the time to let his love flow to us and receive our love for him. May our hearts be filled with his love and may they overflow with love and joy.
