Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Original Post Date: June 16, 2023 === Gospel Matthew 11:25-30 At that time Jesus exclaimed: "I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him. "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” Reflection There will always be difficulty, strife, separation, anger, resentment in the world. And yet we know that there is a work that is being accomplished by God. It's the heart of His message. I've come into the world to save and to heal and to bring life. So there's a moment you should take, and I should take it always, in the midst of whatever struggle we're in, to take a moment to remember that. To rest in a promise. Even though what is the goal of our work has not yet been accomplished. Closing Prayer Father, give us the discipline that we need to stop whatever is going on in our life and spend a moment with you in meditation, reflection. And experience a calm that is so essential so that we can go on with the work in a spirit of hope and trust. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices.

June 12th, 2026: Enthronement to the Sacred Heart; Sacred Heart - Glowing Furnace of Charity; The Sacred Heart of Jesus; Reparation to the Sacred Heart
Send us Fan MailA heart crowned with thorns, wounded, and still on fire with love is not just a striking Catholic image. For us, the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a doorway into the mercy of Christ, a reminder that his love is personal, costly, and still open to anyone who feels weary, distant, or ready to begin again.We trace the devotion from its biblical foundation in John 19:34, where blood and water flow from Christ's pierced side, to the way the early Church Fathers connected that moment to the sacraments of the Eucharist and baptism. From there, we follow the historical thread through St Margaret Mary Alacoque's Sacred Heart revelations, the call to reparation and Eucharistic adoration, and the First Friday devotion that has shaped generations of Catholic spirituality. We also highlight St John Eudes and how he helped bring this devotion into the Church's public worship and preaching.Then we slow down and make it practical: we explain the Twelve Promises of the Sacred Heart, what they mean, and why they are best received as an invitation to trust rather than a checklist. We also unpack the symbolism in the classic image, from the flames to the wound to the cross, so you can pray with it more intentionally at home, in your parish, or during adoration.

Read Online“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves…” Matthew 11:28–29The words gentle and power do not often appear side by side. Yet when we contemplate the Sacred Heart of Jesus, these two seemingly opposite qualities unite perfectly within the divine mystery of Christ's love.In Year B of the liturgical cycle, we read from John's Gospel the scene in which a soldier pierces our Lord's Sacred Heart with a lance—“and immediately blood and water flowed out” (John 19:34). Today, in Year A, we hear a different but complementary revelation. In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus opens His Heart to us not by the soldier's lance but by His own words: “Come to me…” Spiritually speaking, we are invited to enter into His Heart—the same Heart that will be pierced for us, from which mercy will flow like a river of grace.These tender, gentle, and powerful words are far more than a compassionate summons to draw near. They are a divine invitation to union—to rest in Him, to dwell in Him, and most profoundly, to live within His Sacred Heart. This Heart is not only a place of refuge, but a furnace of transforming love and strength.To enter the Sacred Heart of Jesus is to enter the very center of God's love—a love that is meek and humble, yet also all-powerful and eternal. In this Heart, we do not find a throne of earthly power, but the throne of divine mercy. We find not a king who rules with coercion, but the King of kings who governs through self-sacrifice and compassion. The One who holds the universe in existence invites us into rest, not by removing our burdens, but by sharing them and sanctifying them through His love.When Jesus says, “Take my yoke upon you,” He does not mean we will escape from life's labors but that those labors will be transformed by, with, and in Him. The yoke binds us to Him. He does not place it on us from without; rather, He invites us to share in His own yoke—to labor with Him, walk with Him, and suffer with Him. In so doing, we discover that His way is one of deep interior rest and peace. Why? Because His yoke is forged in love. His burden is light because it is borne together with grace. The Sacred Heart is more than an object of admiration and devotion; it is a dwelling place for all who seek refuge, strength, and divine union. To rest in the Sacred Heart is to surrender our illusions of self-sufficiency, to cast our anxieties upon Him, and to entrust ourselves entirely to His providential will. It is to let go of striving alone and to begin walking in step with the One who is Himself the Way, the Truth, and the Life. When we live in the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we live in union with Him, and He begins to act in and through us. Most importantly, we are drawn into His own prayer to the Father—the prayer He offered just before extending His invitation: “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth…” and “All things have been handed over to me by my Father” (Matthew 11:25, 27). In Jesus, we give praise to the Father and hallow His name—His very essence—fulfilling the first petition of the Lord's Prayer: “Hallowed be Thy name.” And in Christ, as those who dwell within His Sacred Heart, we can truly say that all things have also been handed over to us: the fullness of divine sonship, the inheritance of the Kingdom, and the joy of sharing in His mission of mercy. Nothing could be more glorious than this. On our part, we simply need to heed His gentle and powerful command: “Come to me…” Reflect today on the invitation Jesus offers you. What burdens do you carry that He wants to bear with you? What anxieties must be surrendered into the furnace of His love? What would it mean for you to live in His Heart, and allow Him to live in yours? Come to Him, do not hesitate, and your burdens will be transformed by grace. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You, love You, and adore You. Transform my understanding of today's solemnity into something far greater than mere devotion—make it a way of life. I say “Yes” to Your invitation, dear Lord, and I come to You without hesitation. Enfold me in Your merciful Heart and teach me to live in union with You each day.

In this episode of the On Mission podcast, Founding Director Father Frank Donio, S.A.C., and Sarah Scalfaro, Director of Administration, are joined by Project Coordinator Brian Rhude to discuss the U.S. bishops' decision to consecrate the country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Coinciding with the nation's 250th anniversary, this dedication offers a moment to reflect on religious freedom and reorient the nation toward Christ amidst ongoing turmoil. Father Frank highlights the historical context, noting the devotion's connection to Pope Pius XI's 1925 institution of the Feast of Christ the King to acknowledge Christ's kingship amid global oppression. The conversation emphasizes that this consecration reminds the Church and laity to serve the Lord and sanctify the temporal order, rather than focusing on political control. Topics discussed also include the Sacred Heart portrayed in art, and devotions in history including Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. This episode also provides simple ways to develop a personal devotion to the Sacred Heart, as well as discussions of prayer practices to deepen it.

In this recording, I reflect on my recent travels through the Philippines, during which I endured a long car journey and experienced a disorienting earthquake while celebrating Mass. I transition from these personal anecdotes to discuss the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, emphasizing the importance of spiritual meekness and humility. By recalling my mother's faith and the teachings of the Gospel, I encourage listeners to embrace a childlike trust in God to find true relief from life's burdens. The homily warns against the traps of ego and resentment, suggesting that internal peace is found by modeling one's heart after the selfless love of Christ. Ultimately, my reflection invites you to reject the desire for worldly recognition in favor of the rest and security that divine intimacy offers.

Along the way, we'll look at how the Sacred Heart challenges a cold, purely intellectual faith and calls us into a deeper life of love, mercy, and transformation.The Sacred Heart is more than a devotion.
