This meditation delves into the profound significance of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, particularly relevant during the recent feasts of the Sacred Heart, St. Josemaría, St. Peter and Paul, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We're invited to examine our own hearts, acknowledging their struggles and wounds, and to earnestly pray for their transformation to be more like Christ's—merciful, expansive, and filled with a tender, all-encompassing love for God and others, just as the saints exemplified.

We'll explore how Christ, our eternal priest, offers us not only his body and blood but also a share in his victory over sin and death. As we ponder this mystery, let us ask for the grace to respond with a more total gift of ourselves in love and service.
