Love, Burn Bright At most Masses this weekend, we will sing “Love Burn Bright” by Chris de Silva as the gifts are prepared and presented. One line of the song, states, “May your love, burn bright within our heart.” This calls to mind the “pondering” heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who we honor in this month of August. Our hearts too should be open to ponder the mysteries of our faith.
In this year of hope, we recognize that we can find Christ our Hope when we listen to the beating of our heart and when the rhythm of that beating is in accordance with the beating of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. When Mary was assumed into heaven, she was united with the heart of Jesus. This is the state we hope to be when we die. United with Christ for all eternity.
