Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

Ave Maria!  Today is another beautiful solemnity as we pay special homage to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Gertrude von le Fort wrote a powerful Litany for the Feast of the Most Sacred Heart that will be my heart's song today, especially the lines that follow.  Come, let us worship the Lord, whose heart overflows with love for us!  Alleluia!

Holy Heart, divine Heart, almighty Heart...

Lonely Heart, flaming Heart, unquenchable Heart...

Overflowing Heart, overflaming Heart, overstorming Heart...

Mighty Heart, ineluctable Heart, all-consuming Heart...

World-ordering Heart, world-conquering Heart, Thou only Heart of hearts...
Be loved, Love, everlasting Love, be everlastingly loved...
Amen. Amen. 
May the day of Thine infinite love come quickly.
