FEAST OF THE SACRED HEART

Last Friday we celebrated The Feast of the Sacred Heart with a mass in our hall. This feast is a celebration of Jesus’ warm, compassionate and tender love. By staying close to Jesus, we can be warmed by the fire of his love for us. Jesus was full of compassion for those who most needed his love – the poor, the heavy-hearted, the lost, the lonely, the weak and needy. At times we, too, can feel this way; we can feel ‘poor’ in spirit. Jesus showed us God’s love by the way he lived his life, and in his care of the poor, the lonely, the sick and the outcast. Through his example, He taught us how to love and care for others in our community.

This feast provides us with an opportunity to remember, in a special way, the poor and marginalized in our community and in our world. We are asked to stand in solidarity with all members of our human family, striving for the common good of all humankind demonstrating our mission to share the love of Jesus with all our brothers and sisters.

Thank you to our very generous St Louis' community who donated so many items to the St Vinnie's Appeal. Their cupboards are now filled to the brim so they can carry out their good works of helping those less fortunate!

We really are an amazing community!!

Let us pray that we will be touched by the unconditional love of Jesus who loves us with a burning heart.

O God, you showed your love in human form through your Son, Jesus.

His tender heart broke open in compassion for the sufferings of this world.

May we learn to love with the heart of Jesus.

We ask this prayer in his name. Amen.
