Contemplative Haven: My Sacred Heart Anniversary 
My Sacred Heart Anniversary
One year ago, I received an unexpected gift. I was supposed to attend an evening church function, and had every intention of doing so. Before it got underway, I slipped out of the church hall to spend a few minutes in front of the Blessed Sacrament.
I was gazing at the painting of the Sacred Heart above the tabernacle. Without going into detail, the Lord gave me a new awareness, showing me a particular connection of the Sacred Heart to something else, of which previously I had had no inkling. I was filled with joy, sorrow, shame and gratitude. And peace. Much peace.
I heard noise, realized that I would have to leave Him, glanced at my watch, and saw that instead of ten or fifteen minutes, an hour-and-a-half had gone by. I never made it to the function. The noise was that of people leaving.
I know that the Feastday of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is not until Friday, June 23rd, but I cannot wait that long. I just wanted to thank Him, today.
