To Be Loved by a Sacred Heart

That Christ has come to us with a heart made of flesh tells us a lot about how the Sacred Heart loves us, and about the kind of love we need. We are loved by any number of hearts during our earthly lives, but one alone among them we call Sacred.

“To be happy, what you need is not an easy life, b “To be happy, what you need is not an easy life, but a heart which is in love.” 
-The Furrow, no. 795 
A heart that is in love can find joy even in the midst of sacrifice, uncertainty, work, study, and ordinary responsibilities. When we love God and seek to love others for His sake, even the small and difficult moments of daily life can become opportunities for holiness. 
So today, rather than asking, “How can I make my life easier?” perhaps we can ask: “How can I love more?”
