St. Teresa Catholic School

3rd Wednesday of Lent
Open and Available
Have you ever had difficulty logging into something, and either you forgot your password, or you are simply denied access? It can be frustrating and disappointing! Thankfully, access to Jesus is unlimited. When we go to Him, we will never receive a message that we are denied access, or we need to update our password, or that He is simply too busy. Not only that, but we don't have to have just the right words to say, or the perfect interior disposition, or the right external looks. We simply come as we are, and He accepts us.
Jesus' Heart is wide open and available to us at any time. The Sacred Heart of Jesus provides us with a rich fare for meditation. The flames, representing the fire of His love for us; the thorns, reminding us of the mockery He received; and of course, the wound inflicted by the lance, from which pours forth His mercy for us.
Take a moment to consider these aspects of the Sacred Heart. Which one is drawing you today? Go to Him now, just as you are.
Sister Mary Agnes, C.K.
