My faith loves feast days; that is days that celebrate important elements or milestones in our faith journey. Today, and every July 1st is The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus! Sounds important eh?
While it's a very important element of our faith, the Sacred Heart of Christ only points to the heart in us all, and the challenge to allow that heart to celebrate, be moved or even broken by the things that would touch the heart of Jesus. This morning's prayer offered me a line that summed up the reality of a faith that moves hearts within so as to move hearts of others... "Give me your heart, and note carefully the way I point out to you!" cf. Jeremiah 31:33 (Book of Christian Prayer, Morning Prayer July 1, 2011)
Today I simply thank God for the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the many, many loving hearts that continue to care for those who need God's love. My friends, that means YOU. Thanks! TGIF!
