“My
dear loving Lord, I lay my head on Your chest and listen to the rhythmic beat
of Your Blessed Sacred Heart. As I melt into Your body, I am filled with great
peace. As I breathe in Your grace and breathe out the cares of the world, I am
filled with a deep satisfaction of all my senses and the longing I normally
feel for You is quenched at this moment. The world and all its false promises
fall away like mud washed off in the rain.
I hear
Your heart, so full of love and mercy, beating rhythmically with life-saving
blood, Your blood that was shed so that all people can be with You like this,
in this moment and for all eternity. My heart beats like Yours, yet I am so
much less. Your blessed heart contains all the love in the universe. You
created people out of that love and placed a drop of that love in all of our
hearts so that it may grow and be shared with all those around us, the way a
single candle can light millions of candles around it.
Dear
loving Lord, join our hearts as one so that the love in Yours will fill mine to
overflowing so that I can share it with all those around me – one candle to the
next. Fill Your people with love and transform the lost world in which we live.
Hold me close as I lay my head on Your
chest for just one more moment until my heart is so full, it must turn to
others with all that overflowing love.
