Our Lady of Lourdes
Today, is day number one, of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Novena. We start this solemn prayer trusting that Jesus will place our heartfelt petitions deep inside His precious Heart of Mercy, of that which is greatest among "all" hearts that meet us with Love.
We surrender with the assurance of every word He spoke saying, " ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened unto you". How comforting to know we have a God so willing to aid us in all of our necessities. We remember that He loves us and wants for us all that is good. In our prayers to Him, we must surrender that He does know what is best for us and for our Salvation. Deciding on whichever way He sees fit to answer us. He does not think the way we do. His ways are perfect and the perfect outcome is to be trusted with sincerity and total "free fall". He knows what we need, even before we ask. He waits for us to seek His ways. He asks us to trust. He knocks upon the door of our hearts and seeks us, to hopefully find us seeking Him.
Starting today, June 3rd, we ask, we knock, we seek Him, our God, our Jesus, our Holy Spirit. Each play a part in our petitions. He does not sit upon His throne as a cruel dictator, but a merciful King and Loving Father. In His mercy, we are saved and in His Sacred Heart, He wishes us to dwell.
