The Sacred Heart of Christ is an inexhaustible fountain.

and its sole desire is to pour itself out into the hearts of the humble

so as to free them and prepare them to lead lives according to his good pleasure.

From this divine heart three streams flow endlessly. The first is the stream of mercy for sinners;

it pours into their hearts sentiments of contrition and repentance.

The second is the stream of charity which helps all in need

and especially aids those seeking perfection in order to

find the means of surmounting their difficulties.

From the third stream flow love and light for the benefit of his friends

who have attained perfection; these he wishes to unite to himself

so that they may share his knowledge and commandments and,

in their individual ways, devote themselves wholly to advancing his glory.

How foolish you are,

 We ask for signs for assurance.

Yet Jesus insists that the real sign is his own person.

In Him God has become a human being, and who sees Him sees the Father.

It says that Abraham had two sons,

St. Paulteach the world anew the prayer Jesus taught his disciples:

Father, may your name be hallowed, may your kingdom come,

give us our daily bread, teach us to forgive as we are forgiven.

What zeal St. Paul had for the mission! The world has need of this Gospel!

There is in the world a raging conflict between good and evil.

The world promotes hatred and violence, greed and deceit, passion and despair.

Wisdom 7:7-11

I prayed and understanding

  Nor was  Jesus downplaying the importance of the work Martha was doing after all,

someone should take care of hospitality as well.

Jesus only diagnosed the worry and anxiety she suffered while engaged in work.

The one really necessary thing is to be in love with Jesus!

Jesus tells her that Mary had chosen the better part – contemplating or basking in the love of the Master.
