Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him. Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> On this day when you remind us of the love in your Sacred Heart, O Lord, I come before you eager to be reminded. I believe in your infinite goodness and in your deep, personal interest in my life. I want to come to you more fully today, to find rest for my soul in a deeper experience of your grace. Open my mind to receive the grace you have in store for me today, Lord, and receive the offering of my life for your glory and for the advance of your everlasting Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Jesus Rejoices:<\/strong> Jesus rejoices at the beginning of today\u2019s Gospel passage because at least some of his followers have trusted him enough to accept his teaching and his grace. Many refused\u2014especially the well-educated and the powerful. But many of those who were humble, maybe not so well instructed, maybe not so popular and influential\u2014many of \u201cthe little ones\u201d accepted the gift of friendship with God that Jesus came to the world to offer all of us. And nothing fills Jesus with more joy than when we accept his gift of friendship by trustfully believing in what he taught and following where he leads. It\u2019s interesting to think about that: Jesus himself, the Word of God, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity experiences joy or sadness at our response to his invitations. This is perhaps the most striking thing about the revelations of the Sacred Heart. When Jesus revealed his heart to St. Margaret Mary back in the seventeenth century, it was encircled by thorns. Whenever someone says no to Jesus, whenever someone refuses to accept his gifts, whenever someone damages themselves and others by choosing to sin, it hurts Jesus. He truly cares. He cares more deeply than we can imagine. How firmly do I believe that? How real is that for me?\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>I Am Chosen: <\/strong>In the first reading for today\u2019s Mass, God reminds us through the words of Moses that \u201cthe Lord set his heart on you and chose you.\u201d We matter to God, just because of who we are. He has \u201cset his heart\u201d on me. He has <em>chosen<\/em> This is true. This has happened. All the symbols involved in the rite of baptism reverberate with this personal, wild love God has for each of us personally. As the priest sprinkles the baptismal water on the person being baptized, he pronounces the person\u2019s name. He anoints the person on the forehead and the chest, blessing the person\u2019s lips and ears. The person being baptized is given a new garment, a white garment. The person is given godparents and a candle lit from the Easter Candle. The whole ceremony rejoices in this person being welcomed and embraced into God\u2019s own family, chosen to participate fully in the new life of Christ and even to share in Christ\u2019s own mission. God didn\u2019t <em>have <\/em>to do any of this. He didn\u2019t have to create us. He didn\u2019t have to redeem us. He doesn\u2019t have to reach out to us, to reveal himself to us, to walk with us. <em>He chooses to. <\/em>We matter to him. Going back to the words of Moses in today\u2019s first reading, we need to courageously and humbly apply them to ourselves, to ask for the grace to see ourselves as God sees us: \u201cYou are a people holy to the Lord, your God\u2026 the Lord set his heart on you and chose you\u2026\u201d (Deut 7:6-7). <em><\/em><em>I believe, Lord\u2014help my unbelief!<\/em>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resting in the Lord:<\/strong> Jesus\u2019 invitation at the end of today\u2019s Gospel passage includes some of the most comforting words in all of sacred Scripture: \u201cCome to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.\u201d Jesus wants to journey with us, right beside us\u2014when two people are yoked together they are united in all they do; they are never alone and never have to carry their burdens by themselves. Jesus knows that our lives in this fallen world are hard, with the weight of our own fallen nature always pressing down upon us. If we trust him enough to repent from our self-centered ways and follow him\u2014obeying his commandments and seeking to \u201cremain in his love,\u201d as the second reading puts it\u2014our lives truly will change. They will be transformed by the fire of his love, of his Spirit, symbolized in the Sacred Heart revelations by the flames reaching out from Our Lord\u2019s heart. Fire transforms what it comes into contact with, making it like itself by setting it aflame. When we trust Jesus enough to allow him to come into contact with every corner of our lives, we are transformed by him, become more like him, filled with his own Spirit and wisdom and courage and goodness. And that\u2019s when our burdens also are transformed. They become places of redemption. That\u2019s when our weariness is transformed. It is filled with the joy of hope that comes from knowing that we are heard, understood, valued, and accompanied.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> How can I come to you, Lord? Teach me. How can I take your yoke upon me? Show me, because I truly yearn to walk by your side, in friendship with you, every single moment of my life. I believe in your care for me. I don\u2019t fully understand how you can transform my burdens and give me rest. But I trust in you. I just need you to show me how to believe in you more firmly, how to follow you more courageously, how to let your heart set mine on fire with the love of your Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution: <\/strong>Lord, today by your grace I will make a special visit to a place with the Eucharist reserved in a tabernacle, and sit quietly with you, trying to silence the noise in my mind and heart so that I can simply give you the joy of receiving the love you have for me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong> <a
