Dear Friend, 

Today, on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Raymond Cardinal Burke celebrated a Pontifical Mass at the Throne, at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

His Eminence processed in wearing a cappa magna, a long-trained cape, which symbolizes the bishop’s role in the Church.

Here are some highlights. The entire homily is a wealth of spiritual wisdom.

“Jesus loved us infinitely, we might even say desperately, as His love could have no end or exhaustion in His Divine nature.”

“He sought this end in His human nature, which especially in the Eucharist, and on the Cross, was inflamed and consumed by love at the Holy Mass today.  We are witnesses of the truth of the faith, which is the inspiration and substance of our devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Our Lord’s love for us to the end.”

“When we contemplate the glorious, pierced heart of Jesus, the wound which opened His sacred side and pierced His Sacred Heart, we know that the all-merciful love of God for us is not some general and abstract gift. No, it is the most personal and intimate invitation to live in communion with Him always.”

“Placing our hearts into the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we are necessarily engaged in His kingly mission in which to serve is to reign. Christ the King is to reign in our hearts, as He reigned perfectly in the heart of His Virgin Mother from the moment of her Immaculate Conception, as she did in an extraordinary manner at Tepeyac in 1531 and continues to do so through her miraculous image in the tilma of St. Juan Diego.”

Take the time to view the homily, that begins at 49:23.
