Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus |
Deuteronomy 7:6-11
Moses said to the people:
"You are a people sacred to the LORD, your God;
he has chosen you from all the nations on the face of the earth
to be a people peculiarly his own.
It was not because you are the largest of all nations
that the LORD set his heart on you and chose you,
for you are really the smallest of all nations.
It was because the LORD loved you
and because of his fidelity to the oath he had sworn your fathers,
that he brought you out with his strong hand
from the place of slavery,
and ransomed you from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.
Understand, then, that the LORD, your God, is God indeed,
the faithful God who keeps his merciful covenant
down to the thousandth generation
toward those who love him and keep his commandments,
but who repays with destruction a person who hates him;
he does not dally with such a one,
but makes them personally pay for it.
You shall therefore carefully observe the commandments,
the statutes and the decrees that I enjoin on you today."
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for those who are married, especially for Ryan and Kelly Zuk who were married last week.
Today in The Church is the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. It's like Valentine's Day in The Church. If someone were smart, they could think of a way to make this day profitable. People could hand out little candy hearts with "I will keep my merciful covenant" and "You are peculiarly My own" on it. People could send 3 roses (instead of a dozen) to one another with a card stating, "God brought you out of the place of slavery" on it. People would dress up and have a romantic dinner at the heavenly banquet of the Most Holy Mass (then again, I can't think of how to make that one profitable).
Someone could think of a way to capitalize on today's solemnity, but Satan wouldn't tempt someone into doing. If someone were to do that, they would acknowledge the love of God and Satan wants to draw us away from that. So, rejoice and celebrate God's love for you today! Take care and God Bless.
