"I am forgotten as one dead from the heart." (Psalm 30:13). Christ suffered harsh treatment from His own people the Jews, the Gentiles and also heretics. All these classes of people caused Christ much pain, but they were all His open enemies. Harsh treatment was likely expected from them. But could one think it possible that even those who profess being faithful to Him would not have sympathy for all this harsh treatment?
Imagine the sentiments of Christ and His tender, Sacred Heart which has infinintely loved men, but has found in the hearts of those same men only coldness and even contempt! Tomorrow is the first Friday of the month. Let us make a firm resolution to give the Sacred Heart of Jesus proof of our gratitude and love. Let us renew our devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Let us be more respectful toward His presence in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. Let us visit Him more frequently.
In Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
