Feast of the Sacred Heart 2015
“To have Christ dwelling through faith in your heart” refers to the abiding presence of the Divine Person of Christ in our souls while in the state of grace. When St. Paul speaks of knowing God’s love, he does not simply refer to an intellectual knowledge, but rather a direct, immediate experience of the love of God, just as the great saints experienced. This feast of the Sacred Heart was requested directly by Our Lord, and no man is free to ignore this devotion. The original sketch of the Sacred Heart shows a great wound inside of which is written the word “caritas” – “love”. This devotion was reserved for a time when the world had grown cold in its love that it might gain favor through the revelation of Our Lord’s Sacred Heart.
