The feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is celebrated today, emphasizing the profound mystery of Gentiles becoming co-heirs with Jews and members of the same body, the Church. This mystery, revealed by St. Paul, highlights the unity of truth and love, embodied in the mystical body of Christ, with Jesus as the head and the Church as the bride. Fr. Altier stresses the importance of prayer, conformity to truth, and active love for God and others, rejecting mediocrity and embracing a passionate, reciprocal love.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus, dwelling within us through sanctifying grace, invites us to a life of love. By choosing to love God with our whole heart, we can comprehend the infinite nature of His love, surpassing all knowledge. This call to love is for everyone, not just saints, and requires daily prayer and a commitment to the inner life.
