“Plunge into the infinite ocean of peace, calm as a beautiful sunrise. You remember the tints in the sky at Naples just before the sun rose, when the whole firmament and the whole sea were bathed in multicolored serenity. Think what the infinite perfections of My heart must be like. Can you realize all their varied beauty? Adore without seeing it. And because you have adored in blind faith, you will be rewarded. “Put your forehead against My forehead. Enter into my thoughts.” (June 5, 1941).

The sea is his, for he made it;
    for his hands formed the dry land. (Psalm 95:5).

²⁶ A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will take out of your flesh the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. (Ezekiel 36:26).

11 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1).

O Lord You ask us today to plunge into Your Infinite Ocean of peace! You are peace and You are endless! And if the world You created is so infinitely perfect, how much more so Your Sacred Heart? The Heart that loves us and wants to dwell in us, a new heart and a new spirit to replace our stony hearts filled with our own self love and the effects of our human will not united to Your Divine Will! We cannot on this side of Eternity see this Heart and yet though we have not seen You, we love You (1 Peter 1:8). O Lord let us today adore You in faith and trust! Let us place our foreheads against Yours and enter into Your Mind, the Mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16) and let Your Spirit dwell richly in us today that we would be filled with Your Peace!

“Write! I don’t want people to be afraid of Me anymore, but to see My heart full of love and to speak with Me as they would with a dearly beloved brother. “For some I am unknown. For others, a stranger, a severe master, or an accuser. Few people come to Me as to one of a loved family. And yet My love is there, waiting for them. So tell them to come, to enter in, to give themselves up to love just as they are. Just as they are. I’ll restore. I’ll transform them. And they will know a joy they have never known before. I alone can give that joy. If only they would come! Tell them to come. . . .” (Voice full of yearning.) (Jesus, June 1, 1939).

²⁸ Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30).

⁸ But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8).

O Lord here we are in the month of the Sacred Heart! Do we have any idea, can we even fathom Your Love, the Love of God! We come to You with so much baggage- we come with distrust, with our woundedness, with our fear of You! We are afraid to come to You, the Love that never gives up and never lets go! Our Father, our Brother, our Friend! And You are begging us just to enter into Your Heart where Your love awaits and You want us to come just as we are! Just as we are You will restore and transform us! We can come to You in prayer, in Your Word, and in Your Sacraments including if it has been a while the Sacrament of Reconciliation where all is restored and forgiven! Lord, Let’s tell You today from our hearts that we want to enter into Your Sacred Heart and let You do the rest!
