Rooted and grounded in love

“…Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (EPH 3: 17-19)

Today we celebrate the beautiful solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. We are loved by Jesus in His Most Sacred Heart, and because He dwells in our hearts by faith, we can be “rooted and grounded in love.” It is amazing just to think how much we are loved and “to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” Only God’s love enables us to cope with “all the fullness of God.” How lucky we are!

“Take my yoke upon you, says the Lord; and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” (Gospel Acclamation)
