The Month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart. The Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the Friday following the second Sunday after Pentecost.
Understood in the light of the Scriptures, the term "Sacred Heart of Jesus" denotes the entire mystery of Christ, the totality of his being, and his person considered in its most intimate essential: Son of God, uncreated wisdom; infinite charity, principal of the salvation and sanctification of mankind. The "Sacred Heart" is Christ, the Word Incarnate, Saviour, intrinsically containing, in the Spirit, an infinite divine-human love for the Father and for his brothers.

God' Son empties himself for us even as we crucify him. And the Holy Spirit speaking in our hearts gives us the intuition that God is perennially loving and merciful.
And once that intuition takes hold in our hearts, then we begin to have the desire to live life to the fullest: the life lived by the children of God.

🙏Most glorious Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, to you I entrust myself just as Jesus entrusted John to your care. Receive me as your spiritual child, and nurture me with your Son’s divine grace. Thank you for your “Yes” to the Father’s plan, for your life, and for your continuous “Yes” through time and eternity. May my “Yes” echo yours as I surrender fully to God’s plan. Mother Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.🙏

The Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, was added to the liturgical calendar in 2018. The day celebrates the Blessed Mother under the title officially conferred upon her during the Second Vatican Council. The feast recognizes Mary standing at the foot of the cross when Jesus gives us Mary as the Mother of the Church. As St. John Paul II once remarked, "[the title] reflects the deep conviction of the Christian faithful, who see in Mary not only the mother of the person of Christ, but also of the faithful."
