IT'S TRULY WHAT IS NEEDED - “When most people talk about devotion to the Sacred Heart they will mention the promises of the Sacred Heart to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, the nine first Fridays and enthronement of the Sacred Heart in the home. Those are good pious practices, but they are not the real essence of true devotion to the Sacred Heart. True devotion to the Sacred Heart is not about some pious practices. It is a lifestyle, a way of living that is dedicated to living in loving obedience to God that is expressed in genuine love for our sisters and brothers.”

The quote is from Fr. John Czyzynski, SCJ, speaking to parishioners at Sacred Heart parish in Appleton, WI, last weekend. “The parish got permission from the bishop to celebrate the Sacred Heart liturgy over the weekend instead of on Friday,” said Fr. John. The parish hoped to have a religious of the Sacred Heart preach at the Masses; as soon as he heard about it, Fr. John volunteered.

“Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is what is truly needed in our world today,” said Fr. John. “There is so much anger, conflict and hatred going on all around us and we cannot help but be affected by it. What keeps being emphasized are the differences among us and we are failing to remember what we all have in common. We are all sons and daughters of God, brothers and sisters to one another. We need to push against what is going on all around us and be people of heart like the Heart of Jesus and resist all that division. We need to let our hearts be touched by what is going on around us and reach out with our hands in loving service of one another.”
