Behold the Sacred Heart of Our Lord

T he Homily begins with Time.

In the discussion, Time is referenced as what we give when we pray. Our living must be ordered, not simply to the world around us, but in Mysteries of the Gospels as they unfold within our lives. If we do not make a gift to the Lord of our time, how can we say He is the Lord of Our Hearts? If our time is not surrendered to Him, how can He be Lord of our lives?

Jesus’ Sacred Heart

In the month of June, we honor Jesus’ Sacred Heart. We surrender this month to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus. A Heart that is depicted “a flame”. It is especially in this month we turn to the great Mystery of the Heart of Jesus. The Devotion to Jesus’ Sacred Heart is based partly on the Gospel read within this Spiritual Insight, especially the last line. They will look upon Him whom they have pierced. Specifically, the piercing of His Heart with a lance. This piercing, from which blood and water flows; Baptism and Eucharist. This month we look upon Him through the piercing of His Heart.

The Lord indeed wants us all to look at and contemplate deeply this piercing of His Heart. Behold this Heart, which has so loved men, but is loved so very little in return. This statement which was communicated to St. Margret Mary, was not foretold to non-believers, but believers. Those who proclaim the Lord, and who say they love the Lord…but actually show little love to the Lord. They superficially love and engage the Lord’s love for them. They do not linger with God’s love and they do not allow this love to penetrate them. Simply, they do not fully appreciate God’s love and God’s Sacred Heart.

The Key to Being Grateful,

Is Found in the Command to Behold …

We are invited this month to Behold the Sacred Heart of the Lord. In May, The Association of Mary, Queen of All Hearts spent time to Behold the Mother of God (see link). In June, we Behold Our Lord. The more He is in Our lives, the more the goodness of the Lord will shine forth for us and through us.
