Young sisters in Kenya are raising livestock and growing greenhouse produce to feed the poor. Through the organic livestock and poultry project, the student sisters have adopted a ministry that improves the health and wellness of the community around them. Sisters started supplying healthy vegetables, pork, chicken meat and eggs to the society around, feeding more than 1500 people each week.

Devotions to Mary's most immaculate heart date back to the 12th century. However in the midst of World War II, Pope Pius XII formally instituted the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, asking her intercession for peace among nations. Today we pray that the Immaculate Heart of Mary may fill our hearts and our world with peace.

Join the U.S. Catholic bishops in prayer. On this feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus we celebrate the conclusion of the novena consecrating the entire nation to the protection of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus:
You know the longings of our hearts, and you desire that we enjoy friendship with you.
From your pierced side, you have poured out the wellspring of life, for which we thirst.
Your heart burns with a love for all people to return to a right relationship with you.
We celebrate the abundant gifts you have given this nation, founded on the self-evident truths that our Creator has endowed all people with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We make reparation for the offenses against you and against human dignity that have taken place in this nation.
May our hearts be united to yours, so that our families and communities enjoy peace and happiness; may broken relationships be reconciled, injustices repaired, and the wounds of our land be healed.
May your holy Catholic Church serve as a sign, pointing all people to your infinite love.
O Desire ofations and Center of History, we ask you to bless these United States of America. Who live and reign with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
