The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

Gospel: Mt 11:25-30

At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants (NRSV, Mt 11:25).”

Father, you speak to us your Word once and for all at every moment even from the first moment of our existence in the womb. May we ever be responsive to the gift of the Holy Spirit who enlightens all who will listen. Help us to grow constantly in understanding and life as we continue on our journey to you who are our only future.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
