As we consider the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Christ’s great love for humanity, we reflect on how we have fallen short of his love and the need to atone for our sins. We also take this moment to repent as a nation for the sins of our country’s past. Let us pray for forgiveness and healing from the harms caused by our nation’s original sins of slavery and racism. A central element of devotion to the Sacred Heart is reparation – the practice of making amends for the wrongs we have done, asking Christ to forgive our sins and convert our hearts to love as he loves. Let us pray with St. Alphonsus Liguori, founder of the Redemptorists, as we atone for our sins and consecrate ourselves to the heart of Jesus:

My Jesus, I love You with my whole heart. I am sorry for having so many times offended Your infinite goodness. With the help of Your grace, I purpose never to offend You again. And now, unworthy though I am, I consecrate myself to You without reserve. I renounce and give entirely to You my will, my affection, my desires, and all that I possess.

“Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.” — John 6:54

In today’s Gospel, Jesus reveals the gift of Himself in the Eucharist. He is not offering a symbol, but His very life: true food and true drink for the salvation of the world.

To receive Him is to remain in Him, to be nourished by His presence, and to share in the promise of eternal life.

🙏 Lord, deepen our love for the Eucharist, strengthen our faith in Your presence, and draw us ever closer to You.

As we share this important message from the Knights of Columbus, we're reminded of the blessing our parish received last fall when we hosted the traveling icon of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Now, as our nation prepares to be consecrated to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 11, let us once again turn to His Sacred Heart in prayer for our families, our parish, and our country.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

Leading up to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, the U.S. bishops will consecrate the nation to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 11, the eve of the solemnity of the Sacred Heart. Beginning today, Knights and their families are encouraged to pray a novena that concludes June 11. Visit kofc.org/america250 to learn more.

Archbishop Alexander Sample of Portland, Oregon, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee for Religious Liberty and a longtime Knight, recently spoke with Columbia about devotion to the Sacred Heart, the upcoming consecration of the United States and the role of religious liberty in American society. “Our hope is that greater charity will be exercised throughout our country, and that in the heart of Christ we will rediscover the unity that seems to be slipping away from us in today’s divisive culture,” he said. “That in the heart of Christ we will find ourselves to be friends again, even with those with whom we disagree.”

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son...” — John 3:16

In today’s Gospel, we hear the heart of the Good News. God’s love is not distant or abstract; it is personal, sacrificial, and given freely for our salvation.

Jesus was not sent to condemn the world, but to save it. In Him, we are offered not judgment, but mercy, and the invitation to believe and receive new life.

🙏 Lord, help us trust in Your love, believe in Your Son, and live in the light You offer.
