| Sacred Heart by Ron Raab, C.S.C. |
The Friday after Corpus Christi Sunday is observed as the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus...
I love you, Lord,
for your Shepherd's heart, leading me safely home
your holy heart, opened for me on your Cross
your gentle heart, pierced by the lance of my sins
your wounded heart, bleeding the mercy I need
your loving heart, hiding me in its chambers
your healing heart, soothing my broken spirit
your patient heart, waiting for me to come 'round
your tender heart, strength for me in my weakness
your engaging heart, reaching to draw me in
your generous heart,
overflowing with kindness and blessing
your just heart, my font of wisdom and truth
your divine heart, refuge for my humanity
your gracious heart, source of my song and my joy
your timeless heart, at home in my finite world
your selfless heart, emptied for me in compassion
your boundless heart,
filling my soul with praise and prayer
your redeeming heart, making me whole once again
your forgiving heart, my pardon, my peace and my hope
your cosmic heart, dwelling in my human frame
your centered heart, still point for my anxiety
your robust heart, empowering me in my fear
your liberating heart, undoing all that binds me
your penetrating heart, settling deep in my thoughts
your creative heart, sparking my dreams and desires
your seductive heart, sweeping me off my feet
your saving heart, delivering me from evil
your consoling heart, balm for my sorrow and grief
your peaceful heart, safe place in my troubles,
your risen heart, the promise of everlasting life...
O holy, patient, healing heart of Jesus,
I place my trust, my hope, in you;
O cosmic heart of Christ,
accept my praise and prayer as this day dawns...
Amen.
