“Dear Lord, Almighty Creator,
love is Your awesome creation. You are love, You embody love, You define love
and You create love for us. You place that love within us, it is what ignites
our souls and gives us a purpose. The love You pour into us, fills us
completely until it overflows. You ask us to share it with Your other creations,
and it fills us with an unending desire to love You and to be loved by You.
“Love connects us all to Your Sacred
Heart and we constantly seek to foster that connection. Even when we stupidly cut ourselves off from
that connection by the veil of sin, we still long for that love. If we remain
cut off, we try to fill that great desire with other things like the love of
other people (sometimes the wrong people), the love of power, the love of
success, the love of wealth, the love of whatever we can find that we think
makes us feel better when in reality, all these things fall short of Your
perfect love from which we cut ourselves off, leaving a huge empty void that
just can’t be filled. Once we reconcile with You, the veil is lifted and we
open the doors to our hearts again. Then You can fill us with Your beautiful
love once again and we realize how much we missed You and how silly our other
pursuits of love truly are. Your love satisfies our great desire to love You
and to be loved and we are once again connected to Your Sacred Heart.
“We maintain an open channel for
this love but we still feel a great longing because we are not yet with You for
eternity. We are here on earth, separated from You in Your kingdom. Thank You
for the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, soothing that great longing, reminding
us of Your greatest creation – love. Love binds us to You, it strengthens us,
it drives us. Love from You which is You fills us completely and makes us what
You want us to be.
“Lord, may my heart always remain
open to receive Your love.
Lord, may my heart always remain
pure to share that love with others.
Lord, may I be a vessel for Your
love.”
