June 11, 2021 - The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (Fr. Jim Wehner)

Hosea 11:1, 3-4, 8c-9 • Ephesians 3:8-12, 14-19 • John 19:31-37

The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus reveals the merciful love of our Savior, banishing all fear, shame, and discouragement from our own hearts. The Heart of Jesus continues to beat for us in heaven, pouring out its infinite merits upon us through the sacraments. Devotion to the Sacred Heart remains one of the Church's great treasures, and one of our greatest consolations on our pilgrim way. Our Lord promised Saint Margaret Mary that "sinners shall find in my Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy," and "those who shall promote this devotion shall have their names written in my Heart, never to be blotted out." Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
