All ye who seek a comfort sure
In trouble and distress,
Whatever sorrow vex the mind,
Or guilt the soul oppress:
Jesus, Who gave Himself for you
Upon the Cross to die,
Opens to you His sacred heart;
O to that heart draw nigh.
-Anonymous (18th C.)
For Reflection:
Today, I will consider the one situation or circumstance that is drawing me near to the Sacred Heart. Am I willing to enter that heart to see what the Lord has in store for me through this situation or circumstance? Why or why not? 
"O Jesus, by a divine decree, a soldier was permitted to pierce Your sacred side. As the blood and water came forth, the price of our salvation was poured forth, which flowing from the mysterious fountain of Your Heart, gives power to the Sacraments of the Church to bestow the life of grace, and becomes for those who live in You, a saving drink of living waters, bubbling up to life eternal.
