THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
Thought for the Day # 7 – Sunday March 22, 2020
“Jesus Knocks at the Door of Your Heart”
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart.
On this Sunday when, (even though private Masses continue to be held), not
only are public masses cancelled or suspended, but even the church doors are
closed and locked.
There are among you those who have attended mass every Sunday, who have
received communion every Sunday for decades and decades, and now for the
past two Sundays, there has been no public masses. This is a real suffering.
But behind this suffering, there is also the opportunity to rediscover the
presence of Jesus Christ, because God never never stops knocking at the door
of our hearts. This Sunday when the doors of the churches are shut is a special
day to open the door of our hearts to God who enters into us, to God who loves
us, to God who has the power to make Himself present in us in the depth of our
soul, of our heart, of our spirit.
