"Almighty God and Father,
we glory in the Sacred Heart of Jesus, your beloved Son,
as we call to mind the great things his love has done for us.
Fill us with the grace that flows in abundance
from the Heart of Jesus, the source of heaven’s gifts.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen."

What love is this
comes onrushing
at our refusal--
that makes something
from nothing?
That becomes the radical-
radiant in breaking
“Do you love me?
Do you love me?”
through our heart-
fists of flint.
What unfathomable
grace
this Sacred Heart
of Christ,
pierced and wound round
with thorns
making all things
new,
making beauty truth
and truth beauty
by way of suffering
and searing price.
Oh, faith from black
air,
hope from the vast
void.
