JUNE – MONTH OF THE SACRED HEART

JUNE – MONTH OF THE SACRED HEART

The Month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart.
The Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the Friday following the second Sunday after Pentecost.
In addition to the liturgical celebration, many devotional exercises are connected with the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Of all devotions, devotion to the Sacred Heart was, and remains, one of the most widespread and popular in the Church.

Understood in the light of the Scriptures, the term “Sacred Heart of Jesus” denotes the entire mystery of Christ, the totality of His being and His person considered in its most intimate essential:  Son of God, uncreated wisdom;  infinite charity, principal of the salvation and sanctification of mankind.   The “Sacred Heart” is Christ, the Word Incarnate, Saviour, intrinsically containing, in the Spirit, an infinite divine-human love for the Father and for His brothers.   Excerpted from the Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgyjune-devotion- the sacred heart - 1 june 2018

ACT OF LOVE TO THE SACRED HEART
By Cardinal Merry del Val

Reveal Your Sacred Heart to me, O Jesus
and show me Its attractions.
Unite me to It for ever.
Grant that all my aspirations
and all the beats of my heart,
which cease not even while I sleep,
may be a testimonial to You of my love for You
and may say to You:
“Yes, Lord, I am all Yours;
pledge of my allegiance to You rests forever in my heart
and will never cease to be there.
May You accept the slight amount of good that I do
and be graciously pleased to repair all my wrong-doing;
so that I may be able to bless You in time and in eternity.” Amen.
