“Here I am Lord, in awe and adoration that You have called me close to Your heart. I love You so much that at times, I feel my whole body and soul well up, inhale Your perfect presence, groan and then exhale such deep emotion from within my very core. Words do not adequately describe what I feel in my heart.
“Your blessed Sacred Heart is
Your precious gift to us. Thank You for loving us so purely. Thank You for
loving us so completely, even those who don’t return Your love or those who
aren’t even aware of Your great love. I see Your presence everywhere, in
everyone, even in those who don’t live with You as their guide. I see them
simply as people with blinders, ear muffs and thick jackets blocking their
senses and keeping them from recognizing You in their lives. I hope and pray
that one day the blinders, ear muffs and jackets will be removed and they will
bask in Your warm loving light like people resting on a beach at peace,
listening to the rhythm of the waves, watching the sun glistening on the water
and feeling the bright sun warming their skin. Those whose journeys have been
particularly rough, full of pits and valleys, rocks and thorns, death and
despair; those people I truly want to see resting peacefully on the beach.
Those people who hated themselves, who listened to the lies of the evil one,
who thought they were unlovable; those are the ones I long to see resting on
the beach, the sun gently drying their tears, placing rosy color on their
hollow cheeks and sunken eyes. May they see their reflection in a pond of clear
water and marvel at the beauty they see staring back at them. May they see the
stunning person You originally created in them and may they see Jesus’ loving
eyes of mercy staring back at them through their own eyes.
“Oh Lord, call the souls of all
Your people. Bring them home. Envelop them in Your loving embrace and fill them
with Your love and mercy. Here I am Lord, in awe of the power of Your Sacred
Heart.”
