Friday, 31st May... I found myself in the Basilica of Sacred Heart, Rome... Sitting there with the Lord, in the silence that brought the Presence close to me! At a point of intuitive dawn, it occurred to me yet again, how blessed I was! And the specificity of the day held out a triple significance to me!
It was 31st...day of monthly commemoration of Don Bosco, in the Basilica built by Don Bosco.
It was 31st...day of monthly commemoration of Don Bosco, in the Basilica built by Don Bosco.
It was Feast of Visitation, and I found myself infront of the beautiful Altar of the Mary Help of Christians, that special altar at which Don Bosco is said to have celebrated that unforgettable Eucharist on MAy 16, 1887, when he shed tears of overwhelming gratitude 18 times during the Eucharist, getting stuck unable to proceed with the celebration.
And, it was a Friday and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, right above the central altar, pointed out to me the heart burning with love for me!
The convergence of these...brought a special meaning to that moment...and all that I could say at that time was, "Thank you Jesus! Thank you Jesus for your love!"
