To Console the Heart of Christ
I had closed my eyes for most of this. When I opened my eyes, a group of priests were kneeling around me – their eyes were also wet with tears. Indeed, most of those gathered that evening were pierced to the heart by this prayer to console the heart of Jesus. What consoles His Heart but our humble awareness of the immensity of His love for each of us, especially for the vulnerable and afflicted? Our sorrow over how He continues to be rejected by his friends and our own sluggishness creates space in our hearts for Him to do something beautiful in the world and in our lives. In that arena, many who came to seek healing from the Lord, but through the bishop’s ministry, suddenly were caught up in this act of reparation for the healing of the Church.
