June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the feast of which is celebrated each year on the Friday following the Feast of Corpus Christi (June 12 this year). The Sacred Heart focuses on Jesus’ humanity, as He loves us with a human heart. His love fills our hearts, which we then share with others. I was encouraged to grow in devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus during my eight years of study at Detroit’s Sacred Heart Seminary. Here are some ways to grow in that devotion.
- Morning prayer – Dedicate each day to the Sacred Heart.
- Images of the Sacred Heart – Place an image in your prayer space. Notice how Jesus’ eyes “go right through you,” connecting with us on a deep level.
- The Litany of the Sacred Heart – Get it here.
- First Fridays – Participate in Mass on the first Friday of each month in honor of the Sacred Heart.
