In celebrating on Friday, the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we are acknowledging God’s love which was expressed throughout history, but now was fulfilled in a unique and special way in Jesus Christ, God come in the flesh.  In Ezekiel 34:15, God told his people: “I myself will pasture my sheep; I myself will give them rest, says the Lord God”. Centuries before in the Old Testament, God’s heart was revealed as he shepherded his people, loving them dearly. And we all know the Gospels where Jesus refers to himself as the Good Shepherd. In sending his Son, this love shown by the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus was evident in his love for all of humanity as he cured the sick, fed thousands and preached the Good News of salvation to all who would listen.  

       Jesus is the Good Shepherd who goes after even one lost sheep. The heart of Jesus desires to save all who will open their hearts to his Sacred Heart, which was pierced on the cross when he gave his very life for us. From the heart of Jesus flows great love for each of us as we open our hearts to his tender mercies, receiving his great love for us.
