The Catholic Calendar for Friday, June 7, 2002 Ninth Week in Ordinary Time The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Scripture from today's Liturgy of the Word: Deuteronomy 7:6-11 Psalm 103:1-4,6-8,10 1 John 4:7-16 Matthew 11:25-30 A Reflection on today's Holy Scripture . . . We seek comfort and grace when focusing on the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Our faith-filled ancestors who brought us up in the traditions of our church showed us how to pray to the Sacred Heart and taught us to have His picture displayed prominently in our homes. Throughout our lives we seek His blessing, we turn to the Divine Heart as a source of Mercy and Love. The readings today reflect upon the goodness and faithfulness of Our God, both in the old and New Testament readings. Today's epistle from John tells us that we must love one another and He will protect us from evil, and become a total part of our self. When our crosses become heavy, all we need do is to turn to Him, asking Him to show His unceasing love again and you will receive the comfort and consolation you need. Jesus is always there in His yoke with us, helping us carry our burdens, rest assured He carries the heaviest part! Don't stop praying for those people whom you love that you are experiencing some troubles, for those that you work with who aren't so nice, for those who are unfortunate and need assistance. Jesus' invitation is for ALL of us who labor and are burdened not just some of us! Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have Mercy on us. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have Mercy on us. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have Mercy on us. - Deacon Bill Powers ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) YOU CAN HELP to evangelize the Word of God: Please recommend our website to your friends and Catholic webmasters.
