We celebrate this Sunday as an external solemnity, the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This is a feast of the humanity of Christ, an act of adoration for the physical heart of his human body, and rejoicing in the love which that Heart represents. But we emphasize that this love is a human love, and through the human love of Jesus (who is always a divine person), we are brought into relation with the infinite divine love of the Trinity.
Finally, we consider how this devotion to the Sacred Heart also should fill us with joy, even as the heart of Jesus was filled with a perfect joy. All the laws of God and of the Church are to help us be open to this happiness and joy.
