Reflection on the Spirit of the Sacred Heart March 2, 2012

Loving God, open our hearts so that we may feel the breath and play of your Spirit. Unclench our hands so that we may reach out to one another and touch and be healed. Open our lips that we may taste the wonder of life.   Open our eyes so that we may see Christ in friend and stranger. Breathe your Spirit within us and touch our lives with the life of Christ.

For Reflection...    It is very important to recognize the basic nature of humanity and the value of human qualities. Whether one is educated or uneducated, rich or poor, or belongs to this nation or that nation, this religion or that religion, this ideology or that ideology, is secondary and doesn't matter. When we return to this basis, all people are the same. Then we can truly say the words, brother, sister, and they are not just nice words, they have some meaning.
