Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Deut 7:6-11 ,Ps103, 1 John 4:7-16, Matt 11:25-30

God set his heart on you

This feast captures in an image the centre of the Incarnation – God’s love in the humanity of Jesus. As God set his heart on Israel and chose her out of all the peoples on earth, so Jesus chose me and set his heart on me at my Baptism. How can I personally respond to this choice and heartfelt love?
