We have gathered here today in adoration of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar to call to mind the merciful heart of Jesus. Jesus is present here with us and is calling out to us that we need to humbly kneel before Him, so that we can be drawn back towards His love for us.
From the beginning of time man has sinned against God. Adam and Eve were created free from sin, but due to their sin man has inherited original sin. Moses showed the faithfulness of God for the Israelites and yet they ended up complaining and turning away from that mercy that was shown for them. Christ came into the world and died to save sinners and give us the ability to turn back to our original state of innocence. Despite this great love we continue to be ungrateful and continue to give offense against Our Lord. Despite our sin we must remember that we have not been cast out, but that Christ is present with a merciful heart and desires us to return to his mercy.
In the message of the Sacred Heart we are promised that Christ has mercy that He desires to share with us. The Sacred Heart of Jesus desires that our world will be transformed from it's state of sin and return to Him. Promises were given to St. Margret Mary from the Sacred Heart which speaks to each person gathered here today.
There is no greater place for us to come then here in devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. The Sacred Heart of Jesus is present here and it pouring his infinite mercy out upon each of us. May we pray that our families will be transformed, so that all we do will be in union with the Sacred Heart. May we pray that our parish will be transformed through the Sacred Heart that those far away from the Church may return to Her and those active within the Church may grow in their mission of holiness ever growing closer to Christ and His Sacred Heart. Let us pray for those in the world who are sick and on their deathbed that they may trust in the Sacred Heart at the moment of death. Through this Holy Hour may we encounter the Sacred Heart and transform our lives to new heights.
