Holy Mass for the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart

Holy Mass for the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart


Holy Mass for the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

Friday, June 27 // 10:00am

Words of Jesus on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart: “Behold this Heart which has so loved men that It spared nothing, even going so far as to exhaust and consume Itself, to prove to them Its love. And in return, I receive from the greater part of men nothing but ingratitude, by the contempt, irreverence, sacrileges and coldness with which they treat Me in this Sacrament of Love ... Therefore I ask of you that the first Friday after the octave of Corpus Christi be dedicated as a feast in honor of My Heart, and amends made to It in an Act of Reparation offered to It and by the reception of Holy Communion on that day, to atone for the outrages It has received during the time It has been exposed on the Altars. I promise you that My Heart will open wide and pour forth lavishly the influence of Its Divine love on all who will render and procure for It this honor.”
