SOLEMNITY OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS
Ezekiel 34:11-16, Romans 5b-11, Psalm 23:1-6, Luke 15:3-7
Ezekiel 34:11-16
My Beloved, today the Church celebrates the Feast of Your Sacred Heart. The same heart that was pierced with love for us before it was pierced by a lance.
The heart that continues to be aflame with the fire of Your love while still encircled with a crown of thorns because of our indifference to Your love. Yet, You love us and as these verses promise, You will care for us and watch over us as tenderly as a shepherd watches over his sheep. When we stray You look for us. You gather us together in the Church You established, here You feed us with the finest grain and the sweetest wine - Your Body and Blood. You will lead us up to the mountain of God and You will disperse the clouds and fog of error and false teaching.
In the Presence of the Father, You will gather us under Your breast, and in the power of Your Holy Spirit, You will make us once with the Triune God.
You will heal us in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. You will wash our wounds and heal our diseases caused by our sins. You will restore, strengthen and make whole once more. Your own will be safe with You they need never know fear or be afraid.
