“There is an ancient prayer — I learned it from my grandmother — which said: ‘Jesus, make my heart more like yours.’ It is a beautiful prayer. ‘Make my heart more like yours.’ A beautiful prayer, short, to pray during this month of June which is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus..”
-Pope Francis

Joy
Joy is essential to the spiritual life. Jesus reveals to us God’s love so that his joy may become ours and that our joy may become complete. Joy is the experience of knowing that you are unconditionally loved and that nothing—sickness, failure, emotional distress, oppression, war, or even death—can take that love away.
Joy is not the same as happiness. We can be unhappy about many things, but joy can still be there because it comes from the knowledge of God’s love for us. . .
Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. It is a choice based on the knowledge that we belong to God and have found in God our refuge and our safety and that nothing, not even death, can take God away from us.
- Henri Nouwen

Together we Pray
By prayer, community is created as well as expressed. Prayer is first of all the realization of the community itself. Most clear and most noticeable are the words, the gestures, and the silence through which the community is formed. When we listen to the word, we not only receive insight into God’s saving work, but we also experience a new mutual bond. When we stand around the altar, eat bread and drink wine, kneel in meditation, or walk in procession, we not only remember God’s work in human history, but we also become aware of God’s creative presence here and now. When we sit together in silent prayer, we create a space where we sense that the One we are waiting for is already touching us, as he touched Elijah in front of the cave (1 Kings 19:13). - Henri Nouwen

St Justin Martyr was beheaded in 165
AD for his Christian belief. He had examined all the philosophies of his time and concluded that Christianity made most sense. His Apology sets out his understanding of Christian theology, including belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

We tend to see the Pentecost story from the perspective of the disciples waiting in that room, receiving the gift, and being empowered to go out and be the witnesses to it all. The ones who were communicating the story to the Other. But we are simultaneously the ones on the outside, the ones being invited into the conversation they didn’t even know was happening. The ones who can suddenly be called to-and heard-in their own soul’s language.
Do you ever feel like you need to speak some certain kind of language to be heard (by others, by God? So many of us learned what language was appropriate for prayer (and what wasn’t) in our early years of faith.
We’ve probably all been there when someone was having a “normal” conversation with a friend, and then transitioned into a time of prayer, and heard the voice shift, the tone change-a formality, almost a foreignness, as if we were speaking the common language that God understands.
But in Pentecost, we see the Spirit speaking the language of every single heart. What is yours? What would it be to talk to God as if God was listening to every nuance underneath every syllable and silence?
To not speak as if we’re writing a formal letter to someone who must be addressed properly, but with the everyday language we use with family and friends?
(We know this, and yet...) To trust that even when the only thing we can say is “I can’t” or “It hurts!”-or perhaps even more colorful language!-there is deep understanding of exactly what that means?
If you could trust that you are being listened to, in the midst of your real experience, what would you say? Or, perhaps more accurately, what IS your soul already saying, that is even now being heard by the Spirit listening in? How is God speaking your language right back to you? Listen in on the conversation that you may not have even been consciously aware was happening. What is your soul saying? How does God respond? Without you ever having to translate your words into “proper” prayer?

Amen 🙏
It’s very fitting that we end this month of Mary on the Feast of the Visitation, as it is a beautiful summary of her role in salvation history — to bring Jesus into the world, into the lives of others.
In the early Church, they called Mary the “God-bearer,” because she carried Christ into the world, beginning with her visitation to St. Elizabeth. Mary brings us Jesus, even now, in our own lives.
May we live like Mary — with Jesus in our hearts and to share Jesus with everyone we meet and in everything we do. And may we live with the joy of St. John the Baptist! May we leap for the joy of knowing we have been saved by Jesus, that we are living in his presence.

Here is a meeting made of hidden joys
Of lightenings cloistered in a narrow place
From quiet hearts the sudden flame of praise
And in the womb the quickening kick of grace.
Two women on the very edge of things
Unnoticed and unknown to men of power
But in their flesh the hidden Spirit sings
And in their lives the buds of blessing flower.
And Mary stands with all we call ‘too young’,
Elizabeth with all called ‘past their prime’
They sing today for all the great unsung
Women who turned eternity to time
Favoured of heaven, outcast on the earth
Prophets who bring the best in us to birth.
