Sacred Heart

87,000 times a day. That's how much the average heart beats in one days time. I wish I could train my soul to say the holy name of Jesus once per heartbeat. Think of that, repeating the holy name 87,000 times a day.

Or saying the sacred prayer "Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner," for every 7 heartbeats. Think of that, nearly 12,5000 repetitions of the most powerful prayer known to the Church.

Jesus wants to be in our hearts, "Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus." Or, "Do not harden your hearts." Or, "Let not your hearts be troubled."

Oh Lord Jesus, may we learn that your Sacred Heart is pure love. Amen.
