Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

Reflection

“There is in the Sacred Heart the symbol and express image of the infinite love of Jesus Christ, which moves us to love in return.” –Pope Leo XIII

Prayer

Merciful Love,

On this special occasion we commemorate the image of your most sacred heart. Sensitize us even more to your boundless love for humanity. Give us a share in the ocean of love you are pouring upon us, that we might receive and extend every gift you provide for a world in need. Inspire us to serve you more faithfully by serving all people with joy and compassion, especially those who are poor, dying, and underserved. As your hands and feet in the world, we pray, Amen.
