The Sacred Heart of Jesus: A Journey of Devotion
Today marks the celebration of The Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a cherished devotion within Christianity. Originating in France in the 17th century, this devotion found renewal through various saints and mystics, culminating in the revelations to St. Marguerite Marie Alacoque. Despite initial skepticism, the Church eventually recognized the authenticity of these visions. Over time, popes affirmed the importance of this devotion, emphasizing its significance in understanding and experiencing God’s boundless love.
Today, believers are called to deepen their relationship with the Heart of Jesus, allowing His love to transform their lives and to bear witness to others.”
MY PRAYER:

With each beat, a reminder of your unfailing devotion,
Drawing us closer to your divine light.

Lead us on the path of righteousness and grace.

Grant us the strength to walk in your footsteps,
And the courage to spread your love throughout the world.
