The Sacred Heart Of Jesus

June became the Month of the Sacred Heart due to the timing of the feast, which falls on the Friday after Corpus Christi, typically in June. Over time, the Church encouraged the faithful to dedicate the entire month to meditating on the love and mercy of Christ’s Heart. This tradition is now cherished worldwide, inviting Catholics to draw closer to Jesus through prayer, acts of reparation, and devotion.

What Is Devotion to the Sacred Heart?

Devotion to the Sacred Heart is a spiritual practice that centers on honoring the physical Heart of Jesus as the symbol of His divine love, mercy, and compassion for humanity. It is not just about venerating an image, but about growing in love and trust in Jesus, imitating His virtues, especially love, humility, and mercy, and making reparation for sin and indifference in the world.
