The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus – Solemnity
First reading – Deuteronomy 7:6-11
“…it is you that the Lord our God has chosen to be his very own people…” The Lord has chosen us to be his very own people. His choice of heart so that we are His own. It is out of His love for us. He redeems us to make us His own. He is faithful to His covenant to keep us His own. By His graciousness for thousand generations, we remain as His own forever. His love for us is not because of our merits. But because of His choice. So, we must remain in that love by our choice in all things. He wants that we remain as His very own people. Therefore, we must make choices of love as He chose us. We must develop a relationship with the Heart of Jesus where we can find the love of God in its perfection. The Heart of Jesus is the best place to be because it’s full of love and forgiveness, mercy and grace. It’s a sure place because it’s God who decided to love us knowing us perfectly. Let’s reflect: How much am I devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus?
