June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I have always loved this devotion. Why? Because it reminds us who Jesus is. He is not distant. He is not cold. He is not indifferent to our struggles. His heart burns with love for His people.
The image of the Sacred Heart tells a story. The flames remind us of His love. The crown of thorns reminds us of His suffering. The wound in His side reminds us that He gave everything for us.
Even after all these centuries, Jesus still invites us to come close to Him. In a world filled with anger and division, we need the Sacred Heart more than ever. We need mercy. We need compassion. We need forgiveness. The Sacred Heart reminds us that no one is beyond God’s love. No one is forgotten. No one is abandoned.
I think many people today carry heavy burdens. Worry. Loneliness. Fear. Grief. The Sacred Heart of Jesus reminds us that we do not carry those burdens alone. This devotion is not only about honoring Jesus. It is also about becoming more like Him. If we love the Sacred Heart, then our hearts should become more patient. More forgiving. More compassionate.
As we begin this month of June, let us place our families, our parish, and our hearts into the loving care of Jesus.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
I remember you at Mass.
