Emily Cortina, Sacred Heart of Jesus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I stand at the back of a darkened room as another group of visiting students watch a video interview of my dear friend Anita, a Black woman in her fifties and the matriarch of four generations. I have heard her words many times before, but each time they hit me differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She describes standing by her 22-year-old great-grandson when he was arrested for attempted murder. She reports how he was called a \u201cmenace to society\u201d by the judge in bond court. She recounts how she broke down when she visited him in jail, something she had previously told him \u2014 sternly \u2014 that she would never do if he got himself in trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut I knew where his heart was,\u201d  she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She knew his heart.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I realize I am on holy ground. Words from a popular Catholic hymn come to mind, Lord, you have searched my heart. <\/em>Anita sees her great-grandson the way God sees us, and it\u2019s led her to advocate tirelessly on his behalf: writing letters, talking to student groups, sharing their story\u2026 and yearning desperately for his freedom, not because he\u2019s innocent necessarily, but because she loves him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

June 7 is the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, one of the most widely practiced devotions in Catholicism. Statues, prayer cards<\/a> and framed images bear a pristine, light-skinned Jesus pointing at a ruby-red heart gift-wrapped with a ribbon of thorns and a little bow of flames. While held up as a symbol of Jesus\u2019 unwavering and infinite love for us, and the admirable patron of countless schools, hospitals, and religious communities, I admit that this devotion has always felt dry and distant to me \u2014 the stuff of religious zealots, far removed from the dynamic, immersed faith that I\u2019ve sought through my adulthood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet as I contemplate the fierce love that women like Anita show for themselves, their children, and their communities, in a society that disregards their humanity and value, I am drawn to reconsider. After all, it would be foolish to think that Jesus would choose only one definitive way to invite us into his heart, and this popular image would be it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Mechtilde, a Benedictine nun, spiritual advisor, theologian, liturgical musician, and mystic in 13th-century Germany, was one of the first to record detailed encounters with Jesus inviting her into his heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even in her own visions, Jesus presented his heart to her in countless different ways: a cup from which to drink, a mother\u2019s breast, a source of tears, even a kitchen \u2014 \u201ca public room open to all\u201d \u2014 where the Holy Spirit is a chef preparing \u201csweet and priceless gifts\u201d and placing them in dishware that is our <\/em>hearts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These images draw me in, engaging my imagination and sparking a connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I experiment with these images as a bridge to encounter Jesus in my daily life. Admittedly, my body goes into crisis mode on a regular basis: exhaustion from working in ministry and raising a family; sensory overload at the noise, physicality, and energy that characterize young children; financial and other life-management stressors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grounding myself in a moment of prayer, placing my hand over my heart, I can go into my inner room. Rather than attempting to leave behind the worries and failures that weigh me down, I take them with me. I imagine drinking mercy from the cup of Jesus\u2019 heart, feeling its cool, refreshing flow. I allow the empty plate of my heart to be filled with course after course of abundant grace. I receive the motherly nourishment of \u201cinterior consolation and unutterable sweetness,\u201d as St. Mechtilde recalls in Jesus\u2019 promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embraced in this way, Jesus\u2019 heart is not a static object to observe and admire, but a dynamic, interactive force, seeking a heart-to-heart encounter with us. What a gift to fill our own hearts with fierce, unconditional love for others and for ourselves, allowing God\u2019s love to penetrate deep within us so that the mantle of justice and human dignity can be taken up and co-carried by us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we commemorate this feast day of the Sacred Heart and perhaps seek new images for our prayer life, let us contemplate this intense love as it is reflected in women like Anita. It is a ferocity of love that emulates Jesus\u2019 love for us, his tireless advocacy on our behalf, and his desperate yearning for our freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
