God’s Ways are mysterious…and once we are drawn into active relationship with Him, our lives become a part of that mystery.
Two weeks ago, I had the great privilege of finally meeting Gloria Anson, President of the Sacred Heart Apostolate and as well as the moving and motivating force behind the Global Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Special, blessed, lovely, humble, warm, soft-spoken, and powerful are all adjectives with which I would use to describe Gloria after meeting her in person. But it is what is within, what is given when she speaks, is truly what makes Gloria who she is - someone that lives very close to Jesus’ Heart.
Nancy Quayle, a good friend of mine that was present for the Enthronement Ceremony at Food Connection Donation, shared the following:
Gloria was truly inspired as she spoke of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. What struck me the most was when she said 'Jesus is not going to love you more if you have an image of His Sacred Heart and enthrone your home or work place but what will be different is how you will respond to that love.' (those may not have been her exact words but it what I remember her saying). Understanding and receiving Christ’s love for us is a vital and important first step, but our response to that love and how His love molds, shapes, and moves us is the rest of the journey as we move deeper and deeper into the mystery of His love and mercy. I don’t pretend to understand it all and I plan to contemplate Gloria’s statement in the coming months.
The following short video is a portion of Gloria's introductory talk at the Food Donation Connection Enthronement Ceremony. It illustrates the profound and beautiful mystery which pours forth from the Enthronement:
