*❤️The Speciality of Jesus' Heart❤️*

*1) A Heart Which feels for others*

Jesus' Heart is so sensitive that, it felt the pain and sufferings of others 

The Gospel says that 

*When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.* Mathew 9:36

*2) A Heart Which Loves the Poor*

Jesus' heart always had a special place for the poor, downtrodden, sick, lepers and those who were kept away from the society

So it is very clear that Jesus had special place in His for those people 

*3) A Heart which sacrificed everything*

Jesus' Heart is the one which was ready to sacrifice everything

He sacrificed everything, even His own life on the Cross for the salvation of All 

A heart which shed its last drop of blood to save the mankind 

*4) A Heart which Loved Peace and Peace only*

Jesus was born with the message of peace 

Jesus lived with the message of peace 

Jesus died for peace 

And Jesus rose from the dead and brought the message of peace to everyone

*5) A Heart Which fought for the Justice and Truth*

We see Jesus' fight against the injustice and falsehood

Wherever He went He proclaimed the truth and condemned the Hypocrisy and injustice

*6) A Heart which acted like a terror for the Devil*

Devil could not stand before Jesus 

Jesus' heart was so pure and graceful, Devil could not stand in the presence of Jesus 

It appeared as terror for the Devil and that's why it had to run from the presncey of Jesus 

*7) A heart which cried from others*

When Lazarus His friend died Jesus cried 

When He saw the Jerusalem and the temple which persecuted the prophets, Jesus' Heart wept because, its desolation was very near. 

*8) A Heart Which is a Model for all*

Jesus says *Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.*

A Heart from which we can learn everything and attain the Holiness

That's why the heart of Jesus is Model for everyone

*How about my heart. Will I follow the heart of Jesus?*

*Think about it*

*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
