Dear Brothers and Sisters,

How perfect is today’s Alleluia Verse and Gospel passage as we prepare. with our Mother Mary for the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus! What was uppermost in the Heart of Christ - wasn’t it always to do the Will of His Father Who sent Him – The Father Who so loved the world He gave His only Son to us through Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit?
Alleluia

You have received a spirit of adoption as sons
through which we cry: Abba! Father! (Rom 8:15)

Gospel

Jesus said to His disciples:
“In praying, do not babble like the pagans,
who think that they will be heard because of their many words.
Do not be like them.
Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

“This is how you are to pray:

‘Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.’

“If you forgive others their transgressions,
your heavenly Father will forgive you.
But if you do not forgive others,
neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.” (Mt 6:7-15)

Grant me to live a holy life and to die a happy death. During this Novena, I humbly ask for certain spiritual and temporal favors: (insert your petitions here).

Dear Stephie,

Thanks again, for your Faith-full and loving “heart!” I’m writing this reply on the Feast of the Sacred Heart, and I know the Lord has blessed you and others during the days of this Novena through Mary for following the threads and prayingi the prayer to Him through her.

May He continue to bless you and all those who continually ask to receive Him, seek to find Him and continue to knock on the door of His Heart, through and with Mary, our Mother and Model for the Church!

We had a nice Mass for Feast of Sacred Heart… “smells and bell” version. I was surprised and pleased at the same time.

God Bless,
Stephie
