Sacred Heart

Scripture/Bible:  Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him; 33 but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. 35 He who saw it has borne witness - his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth - that you also may believe. 36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be broken." 37 And again another scripture says, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced." John 19:31-37

Reflection:  A hidden treasure that is found by someone can become the exclusive property of that person. 

What about the treasures of the earth which are so freely available to anyone, such as the sunshine, the water, the wind which are freely available?  They are not usually the exclusive property of anyone.

Very rarely would a person who has discovered a hidden property will make it available freely for public use and the benefits thereof for the public at large.  What could be best solution, is for the owner in his life time to do so by bequeathing to a foundation or an entity that will make it freely available for the benefit of the public.

Christ Jesus incarnated carrying the greatest treasure ever which human have always looked for. to seek for this treasure is an innate desire in the heart of any man; life, freedom and eternal happiness.   

Who doesn’t seek it? 

Of course some seek it here in their ignorance either by striving every bit to prolong their lives or through the various addictions of life, which in freedom only pushes us on to more bondages and wretchedness.

Blood and water that flowed from his Sacred Heart was that treasure bequeathed to humanity, visibly shown and documented by the Apostle John so that believing you may life that leads to freedom and happiness. (cfr. 20:31; 10:10)

Prayer:  Lord, may I be blessed with all the riches of assured understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, of Christ, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.(cfr.Col 2:2-3)
