The Heart of Jesus Christ our Saviour is so vast that it contains the whole universe, our world, and everyone on it. He loves every person with a deep, fervent and tender love. He prays for each of us today with as much fervour and power as when He prayed on the Cross.
Christians should pray frequently, asking God for a renewal of Christian faith in many hearts and many countries.

When people accept God's call, and approach Him, some halt soon afterwards, being afraid that He will ask them to do uncongenial tasks, or make sacrifices they don't want to make. They do not really open their hearts to Him in prayer, for the same reason, and picture the Godhead as a massive fortress or walled city, with an open door they do not want to enter. They do not discover, therefore, all the joys and delights found inside by God's friends.
Though it is right that we travel to Lourdes to pray in the Grotto, and to other shrines, Christ invites us to make a 'grotto' of our own heart, where we can meet Our Lady and confide in her, who is at all times close to God Who dwells within us.
Christ wants us to know that we never suffer alone. He knows and sees our every pain and heartache. He invites us to bring everything to Him in prayer, and to find rest in His presence.
Through being wholly united in love with the Holy Trinity, through doing God's Will and loving all those He loves, the soul is held like a child at God's heart in blissful prayer, in incomparable peace and security.

Held in the love of the Three Divine Persons, we can intercede for others. A person who loves God brings close to God all the people she carries in her heart.

The soul who is ready to enter Heaven, after Purgatory and not straight after death, kneels in awe before the Godhead, and waits for Christ and Our Lady to lead him to the Father's heart.
Truly, each priest can turn to Our Lady for help, confident that she has a special interest in his hopes, joys, fears and sorrows. She keeps very close to her Immaculate Heart all who are configured to her son.

Christ can see into our hearts. He 'sees' our sins and weaknesses, the forces that mould us, our deepest yearnings, and our daily decisions. If we believe in Heaven and Hell, we will pray, and make wise choices.
Unique individuals, no matter how weak, must never be treated as a nuisance, or mere objects of pity. Charity needs to be kept alive in the hearts of all carers.

Christ spoke to me about all the people in my heart in need of help, and all my other concerns. He said, "BRING THEM ALL TO ME", and assured me that He can 'deal' with all our problems and petitions.
The Saints are all around us, with Christ, as we pray; they delight in the love in our hearts, and in every reverent word and gesture as we honour them, and adore and praise the Three Divine Persons.
Christ looks on with joy when we celebrate life or good news by sharing food and drink with friends, at a party, in genuine mutual delight, with a desire to give joy and to comfort tired hearts. Heaven is a little like that.
Christ is touched to the heart by every sign of devotion to Him in His Passion - which He endured out of love for us all. He wants us to revere the crucifix, pray the stations of the Cross, and make the sign of the Cross with reverence and care.
