2008 May 30 Fri: SACRED HEART OF JESUS S
Dt 7: 6-11/ Ps 102(103): 1-2. 3-4. 6-7. 8. 10/ 1 Jn 4: 7-16/ Mt 11: 25-30
From today’s readings: “It was because the LORD loved you.... The Lord's kindness is everlasting to those who fear Him.... In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent His only Son into the world so that we might have life through Him.... I am meek and humble of heart....”
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, Make Our Hearts Like Unto Thine!
The heart is the center of a person’s Love and Life. So, in our devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we are simply asking that He make our hearts like His - filled with His divine life and love!
All of the readings today direct our attention to God’s divine life and love: “It was because the LORD loved you and because of His fidelity to the oath He had sworn your fathers, that He brought you out with His strong hand from the place of slavery, and ransomed you from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Understand, then, that the LORD, your God, is God indeed, the faithful God who keeps His merciful covenant down to the thousandth generation toward those who love Him and keep His commandments...” “Merciful and gracious is the LORD, slow to anger and abounding in kindness.” “ Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love!” “Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For My yoke is easy, and My burden light.”
