Sermon for June 14, 2026
A reflection for the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, remembering the burning love of Christ, the only spotless sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. St. Paul writes in Romans 5 that God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, for while we were still weak, Christ died for the ungodly. We are raised to think of ourselves as strong and self sufficient, but every blessing is a gift from God, and we are weak and in need of saving. God knows exactly who we are, and nevertheless He loves us, a love that turns our anxiety into defiant joy.
