Peace of heart is of the utmost value in our lives. If we want true peace of heart we must practice obedience and renouncing our own will. We can learn these things through practicing devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Christ wants us to lead lives according to His pleasure and not our own.
In order to do this we must unite ourselves to the heart of our Lord Jesus Christ. We must constantly offer to God all the prayers that Christ has offered on our behalf, particulary at the time of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. If you feel you are making no spiritual progress, offer God the infinite love of Christ to make reparation for your own lack of success. We can make repartation for anything imperfect in our actions by offering to God the perfect love of Jesus Christ.
Gaudium et spes reminds us that: "The Word of God, through whom all things were made, was Himself made flesh so that as perfect man he might save all men and bring all things into unity. The Lord is...the joy of all hearts and the fulfillment of their desires."
I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us.
In Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
