Heart Imitation!

Today and tomorrow we celebrate two great feasts: The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary. These hearts are full of love and they provide us with a beautiful and loving example. How many of us have seen statues or pictures of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart. Their hearts are always exposed and those hearts call out to us to live our life and our faith to the fullest and to share the love of God with our brothers and sisters. As one commentary states about these two feasts being back to back, "This reflects the unity of their love for us. Devotion to Mary's Immaculate Heart helps us live more faithfully as disciples of her Son, Jesus Christ" (Commentary and General Intercessions, 264). Let us pray that our hearts will be strengthened and renewed as we put our faith and trust in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of our Blessed Mother. These are truly two great feasts to imitate! Blessings to you!!!
