At the Christ Our Life Conference, we are fortunate to celebrate Mass and receive the Eucharist twice. The first Mass is celebrated Saturday at 9 a.m. and a closing Mass is celebrated Sunday at 12:30 p.m. As you might imagine, distributing Communion in a large arena can be a logistical challenge. Thanks to the help of 26 priests and deacons, Communion is efficiently distributed to the faithful.

When contemplating the Sacred Heart as the source of justice and love, we connect Christ’s love for us with our love for others. As Pope Francis said in Dilexit Nos, “Our best response to the love of Christ’s heart is to love our brothers and sisters. There is no greater way for us to return love for love” (no. 167). As we meditate on the love Christ has for us, let us pray this Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus for Love and Mercy.

Lord Jesus, You gave your life for us. Your Sacred Heart is ablaze with love. Your hand extends towards me, and towards all, offering love, mercy, and healing. Sacred Heart of Jesus may your love transform me. Burn away my hesitation that I may become your love and radiate your mercy. Amen.
