Today is the second of three Solemnities this week. It was lovely to be able to serve at Mass this morning. After cooling down over last weekend and remaining cool through yesterday, it's back to being hot. Boy, the heat really takes it out of me!
I was happy to read wonderful piece by Larry Chapp: "The Sacred Heart of Jesus is the burning furnace of divine love." Like Chapp, I, too, "I have been drawn to the emphasis this devotion places on the humanity of Jesus, as I consider our era as one marked by an anthropological crisis. And with the emerging threat of artificial intelligence, this crisis will only grow more acute. What is a human being? What is special about us? What is our unique dignity as creatures made in the image and likeness of God? What is consciousness? Is there such a thing as a spiritual soul within us?"
This reminded me of the focus of Servant of God Cora Louise Evans mysticism- The Mystical Humanity of Christ. I encourage you to follow the link and read about Cora Evans.
On December 24, 1946, Jesus revealed the mission entrusted to Cora. She learned that she was to promulgate the Mystical Humanity of Christ, a way of prayer that encourages people to live with a heightened awareness of the indwelling presence of Jesus in their daily lives. It is Eucharistic spirituality, and Jesus promised to foster the devotionOur traditio for today the Litany of the Sacred Heart sung by Benedictine Monks of Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery, Silver City, New Mexico.
