Today, in the Catholic liturgical calendar is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Christ, so this means that this theme will run through all of the prayer times today, and also this morning's Mass was a special liturgy, including special sung eucharistic responses and the traditional 'bells and smells' that are usually reserved for Sunday Mass in New Norcia.
I was asked to read the second reading, from Ephesians 3:8-12, 14-19, and as I was reading it, and afterwards listening to Fr Anthony's homily, I was struck by the words of the last part of the reading:
Out of his infinite glory, may he give you the power through his Spirit fo your hidden self to grow strong, so that Christ may live in your hearts through faith, and then, planted in love and built on love, you will with all the saints have strength to grasp the breadth and the length, the height and the depth; until, knowing the love of Christ, which is beyond all knowledge, you are filled with the utter fullness of God.
... knowing the love of Christ, which is beyond all knowledge, you are filled with the utter fullness of God.
Certainly gave me something to think about, and take into the rest of the day with me.
