"You are a people sacred to the LORD, your God; he has chosen you from all the nations on the face of the earth to be a people peculiarly his own." Dt 7:6
The feast of the Sacred Heart reminds us that we are embodied, that our faith celebrates not just the salvation of our souls, but our entire person. Like the feast of the Body and Blood of the Lord, the feast of the Sacred Heart counters any tendency in the Christian community to forget that God sent his son among us as a fully human person and through him reminded us that God wants to be with us body and soul forever. How our resurrected bodies might look is not the issue. That we will be with God in our bodies is.Today's feast calls us to come closer to the heart of Jesus where we will find mercy, consolation and hope. What else could we desire.
Whose loving heart has most formed you in faith?
