Today’s ✠Challoner Meditation
Carissimi: Today’s Mass; S. Praxedis Virgin
But I am a sinner, you will say, and in the Scriptures I read: God doth not hear sinners (Jo. ix. 31). St. Thomas answers, with St. Augustine: “That is the word of a blind man not yet perfectly enlightened, and therefore it is not authoritative.”
The Heart of Jesus is all pure, all holy, all full of love towards God and towards us. Every perfection, every virtue reigns in this Heart. This is the Heart in which God Himself finds all His delight. O amiable Heart of Jesus, Thou dost well deserve the love of all hearts.
