June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus—a devotion that reminds us of the immeasurable love Christ has for every human soul.

The origins of this devotion can be traced to the visions received by St. Margaret Mary Alacoque between 1673 and 1675. During these apparitions, Our Lord revealed His Sacred Heart, burning with love, crowned with thorns, and wounded by humanity's indifference. He invited the faithful to respond to that love through prayer, reparation, and trust in His mercy.

In one of these revelations, Jesus asked that the Friday after the Octave of Corpus Christi be dedicated to honoring His Sacred Heart. What began as a private revelation eventually spread throughout France before being extended to the entire Church by Pope Pius IX in 1856.
Today, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart remains one of the most beloved feasts of the liturgical year, reminding us that the Heart of Jesus is a refuge for sinners, a source of mercy, and a sign of God's enduring love for humanity.

As we begin this month dedicated to His Sacred Heart, let us entrust our families, our intentions, and our hearts to Christ, who never ceases to love us.
