From Embers (Newsletter of the CMA):
The month of June is dedicated to The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (6/12) and in honor of the 250th anniversary of the founding of this country, our bishops are consecrating the U.S. to the Sacred Heart on June 11, to commemorate the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The World Day of Prayer for Priests is June 12. Our theme this month is The Eucharist at the Heart of Faith and this is an image of the 760-year-old Eucharistic miracle in Santarem, Portugal. We suggest the books The Eucharistic Miracles of the World (Catalogue of the Vatican International Exhibition), Eucharistic Miracles by Joan Carroll Cruz and A Cardiologist Examines Jesus by Dr. Franco Serafini.

The Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus (6/7) reminds us of the reverence we should show in the presence of the Eucharist in our dress and our silence. We encourage you to consider making a weekly Holy Hour. Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen recommended a daily Holy Hour for priests and religious.

The Immaculate Heart of Mary (6/13) recalls that Our Lady's heart, which treasured so many events in Her life, was pierced mystically when the lance was driven into Jesus' heart as He hung on the cross. She promised the children at Fatima "in the end My Immaculate Heart will triumph".

Father's Day is June 21, as we honor our fathers, living and deceased. SS. John Fisher and Thomas More (6/22) remind us of the persecution of Catholics during the English Reformation. That price is still being paid today around the world. St. Thomas More was an exemplary father and this is his final letter to his daughter Margaret the day before he was martyred.

The Nativity of Saint John the Baptist (6/24) is the only birth celebrated by the Church outside of Christmas and Our Lady's birth. He had the courage to speak truth about the moral law.

The English translation of Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, is now available here. Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, USCCB President, stated: “The Church in the United States welcomes the publication of Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical letter, Magnifica Humanitas, with gratitude and praise. It is a powerful reminder that no technology can replace a child of God, and all technology should be placed at the service of helping humanity thrive.”

Suggested reading: Peaceful Hearts, Zealous Hearts by Gerard Marie-Anthony, Devotion to the Sacred Heart (TAN), Visits to the Blessed Sacrament by Alphonsus Liguori, The Holy Hour (Word on Fire) and Fr. Robert Spitzer's Christ, Science and Reason.
