Today on the podcast, revealing the heart of Christ. Father Peter Armenio, a priest of Opus Day,

reflects on Jesus' example and command at the Last Supper that we love one another as he has loved

us, and how this new commandment creates a connection between Jesus Christ and us, revealing to us

and helping us to love with the heart of Christ.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore you with profound reverence.

I ask your pardon for my sins

and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful.

My immaculate Mother St. Joseph, my father,

and Lord, my guardian angel, intercede for me.

With your permission, Lord Jesus Christ, truly present with us in the blessed sacrament,

and our conversation with our Lord is reflected in this special true presence of Jesus.

Out of that monstrance radiates that heart of Christ,

we perceive it through this monumental gift that we call the theological virtue of faith.

And this true presence of Jesus is meant to carry on in our own minds and hearts.

This true presence of Jesus is the vision of every Christian.

What our Lord tells us in His Eucharistic presence

is that we're called to say what St. Paul said.

It is no longer I that live, but Christ who lives in me.

Our topic of prayer is loving with the love of Christ, loving with the heart of Christ.
