Sea of Galilee

I am continuing with reflections from the section on prayer in the Constitutions of the Society of the Sacred Heart and this picture seems appropriate today.


18.

Jesus calls us
to a personal encounter with Him.
He wants to make known to us
the feelings and the preferences of His Heart.

He has chosen us...
He calls us by name to come and follow Him, to heed His voice...to bear fruit.
What has He called us to? A "personal encounter with Him."
What does a personal encounter with Jesus mean - is it different for each of us? It is certainly a gift and I think it must be unique for each of us is unique; it is intimate, relational with the One who knows us better than we know ourselves.
And why does He call us to this personal meeting with Him? He wants to reveal to us His Heart - what He feels, what He desires, His preferences, His way of being...

Who would not want to heed His call? Let us respond today with all our heart ....
