GOD THE FATHER IN HIS INFINITE GOODNESS WANTED TO GIVE US THE HEART OF HIS SON

The Sacred Heart of Jesus

 is the sign of 

the goodness and Love 

God the Father has 

for us all.

Friday is the

day of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ

and is dedicated to Sacred Heart,  along with month of June.

The  heart of Jesus is everything to us, it has been given to us, it has been donated to the world, it has been given to us as a refuge. Many times, as mountain climbers caught in a storm, we seek a refuge, a safe place to find ourselves again and to regain our strength. We seek for something that would give us protection and relief. If we look at the Heart of Jesus we can find all this. We can find everything we are looking for and desire, all the love we need, all the spirit, all comfort, all the understanding, we can find ourselves in His Heart if we keep our gaze fixed on it. 

WE MUST NOT BE INDIFFERENT TO THE GIFT OF GOD OUR FATHER

Let us think of the gifts that we usually do, birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, gift for Confirmation or First Communion. We have done many gifts in our life for all occasions. What kind of gifts we have bought and buy for our dear ones? Watches, T-shirts, gadgets, glasses, flowers, chocolates ... all very beautiful and colorful. Let's think how we made happy all those people who received our gifts. So, God gave us His Heart and gives it to us everyday, His Heart is at our complete disposal. Have we ever thought about this great gift before which we have no words to say thank you? Only a mother can really understand this gift of the "heart", because she gives her heart to her child when he is born. The heart of a mother belongs to her child and everything happens so naturally at his birth. So tight is the union between them, so intense and intimate. The Heart of God is ours. He has given His Heart to us at our birth, as He were our mother.

IT'S THROUGH THE HEART OF JESUS THAT...

It's through the heart of Jesus that we come to know the tenderness of the Father. It's through the Heart of Jesus that we come to know the Love the Father has for us, that we come to know His Glory and Grace. The heart of Jesus is the home of the Father in whom we must return. It's the home of Love, familiarity, intimacy, fullness of Grace to which we must return. The Heart of Jesus is the home of the maternity of the Father. God the Father makes Himself Mother and becomes womb, intimacy, contemplation. Yes, because the Father contemplates us as the most beautiful creatures of the entire universe, He looks at us through the Heart of Jesus, as a mother looks at her child sleeping. This is how God the Father looks at us when we surrender ourselves to Him and fall asleep on Jesus' Heart. He looks at us with the same loving glance of a mother, he nurses us to his bosom when we surrender to the Heart of Jesus. Yes, God our Father stays hours in contemplation of His children, through the Heart of Jesus, just as He has done with Mary, the most beautiful among all women.


OUR VIRGIN MOTHER MARY IT'S IN THE HEART OF GOD THE FATHER

The Grace of Mary passes through the Heart of the Father. Mary is the most beautiful, meek and pure of all His children, her Graces pass through the Heart of God. Mary is engraved in the Heart of God, she has a privileged place in His Heart. Mary's grace, humbleness and love have conquered the Heart of God and God sees in her the fullness of His creation. Just like Mary we can surrender to God's contemplation and to His will to give us all the gifts of His Heart. Even we can become God's beloved children by looking at Mary. By looking at Mary we can learn to surrender to God's Heart, to surrender to God's project and Will on us. By looking at Mary we can learn to surrender to His cares, to His embraces and let us be kissed by His Love. By looking at Mary we can learn to love His Heart, we can learn to love with all our heart and be kept as free prisoners of His Heart  and let Him come to inhabit our heart and make space for Him to transform us as true worshipers and lovers of His Heart. Mary is the loving child the father loves.

MARY WITHIN US ... AND WE WITHIN MARY
God loves that part of Mary that it's within us. In His infinite Goodness He has put in all of us women and men something of Mary. Her pureness, her virginity, her humbleness and her

divine maternity. It's Mary within us that leads us directly to the Father through the Heart of Jesus. It's Mary within us that acts together with the Holy Spirit and that makes us so loved and dear to God. It's Mary within us, the key, that opens the Sacred Heart of His Son, It's Mary within us that makes us His beloved children just like her.


THE KEY OF THE HEART

Blessed is the one who has and owns the key to His Heart. Blessed are you, oh Mary, Blessed are all the Saints and Blessed are we to whom has been given such a gift. 
Let us invoke Mary as the "key" opening the Sacred Heart of Jesus, His Son, let her be the key that opens It to our hearts, to the whole world:
"Oh Blessed Virgin Mary, 
as you are the key to your Son's Heart,
open this Sacred Heart for us, open It
to our hearts, so that we can feel it 
burn of Divine Love, so that we 
can feel His Love within us, 
the same Love you felt when you
were with us, the same Love
you are feeling now that you 
are so near to Him.
Please, open, oh Mary, to us,
the casket of His Divine Heart,
and let us dive into His Heart,
let us dive into this inexhaustible
source of Grace so that we can
taste this infinite sweetness.
Open, oh Mary, His 
Heart to ours as that It  
will change us in you..."
