The Rest of Love

(The following is a 'homilette' given on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, June 27th, 2014)

In rest we find our life’s delight; a moment of silence, and twinkling of stars.
In rest we see how God’s design does quicken the hours toward joy.
To rest we bind our life’s confines with meekness and with love
Employed by Him Who authored us all to best the bars of sinning.

In Him is Love that seeks to right the moments of burden, as numerous as stars
In Him is life that ends the war between man and sin with joy
Through Him our hearts of iron are broken with meekness and with love
Destroyed so that in turn our souls can revel in life’s beating

In truth we share in God’s delight; eternal resplendence, more dazzling than stars
In truth He gives us His Sacred Heart that beats the beat of joy
This Truth that kindles embers ripe for flames of meekness and of love
Enjoyed by those who rest in Him Whose Love is never ending.
