The Sacred Heart serves as a powerful reminder of both our Lord's humanity and His abiding love for us. It is frequently portrayed as a broken, bleeding heart that is still burning with love. This picture effectively conveys the enormous sacrifice that Christ made on your behalf. Jesus said to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque:
"Behold this Heart which has so loved men that it has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming itself, in order to testify its love."
Major Feast: The Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus on the Friday following Corpus Christi Sunday Celebration Ideas: Pray Padre Pio’s novena to the Sacred Heart or begin the first Friday devotion.
