Devotion to the Sacred Heart: Ninth day
09-06-2023 - Friday
Mercy of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Our God Almighty is powerful to miraculously heal all our injuries and iniquities borne through original sin and sins through our deeds. There is nothing that is beyond His divine prowess. Because of His unconditional love towards us, our Divine Lord took human form, was humiliated, and suffered a painful crucifixion for our sake. The misery and pain that sinful humans suffer in a lifetime is nothing compared to the cruelty and pain that Jesus suffered. So vast is the difference. If we are poverty stricken, then realize that the Creator and Provider of the whole world suffered extreme poverty. If we are humiliated, then realize that the Messiah, to whom all glory and celestial hymns are due bore more humiliation and dereliction than us. If we are afflicted by ailments and infirmity, then remember the pain and torments to which the glorious body of our Divine Lord was subjected to. If we are crushed by fear, mental agony and despair then meditate how Jesus was so afflicted with indescribable fear, agony and negligence in Gethsemane.Like this when you contemplate the immense pain, contempt, negligence, indifference and injuries that Jesus suffered, then we can see that our pain and sufferings are light and insignificant. When we examine the bygone days of our life, we will realize that our sufferings are not good enough to indemnify our sinful past life. Whereas what the Immaculate Heart suffers is out of His concern and love for our eternal life. In our sorrows and doubts He imparts courage and hope and beckons us to Him. My soul! Whatever be the temptations,promise that you will abide in the love of this Divine Heart.
