Feast of the Sacred Heart - 12 June
From Pope Francis' encyclical Delixis Nos. (“He Loved Us”) With this document, Pope Francis invites the faithful to deepen their devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, highlighting its transformative power for personal spirituality and the Church’s mission to serve a divided, materialistic, and heart-broken world.
“Mission, as a radiation of the love of the heart of Christ, requires missionaries who are themselves in love and who, enthralled by Christ, feel bound to share this love that has changed their lives. They are impatient when time is wasted discussing secondary questions or concentrating on truths and rules, because their greatest concern is to share what they have experienced. They want others to perceive the goodness and beauty of the Beloved through their efforts, however inadequate they may be. Is that not the case with any lover?” ( #209).
