There is an image of Christ that has been drawing my attention in various ways as I travel about. One painting in particular—the one above—started the trend.
Since then, I have seen that painting and at least two others with a similar presentation. In all of them, Jesus is holding out His heart and staring right at me, offering His heart with no conditions save that of acceptance.
In one of the images, He extends His hand, as if to say: "Here is My heart. Will you give Me yours?"
On this Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, that is exactly what He is asking us, just as He does every day of our lives. He longs so much for our love that He has given Himself to the last drop. Now He asks the same of us.
Will you give Him your heart?
