Today, June 12, 2026, the Catholic Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, observed on the Friday following the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, reminding us that in the Eucharist we encounter the very Heart of Jesus Christ.
Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus spread rapidly after the 12 Promises that Christ himself made to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque became known in the Church and throughout the world. Through a series of apparitions, Christ revealed his burning love for humanity and desire for souls to turn to His Heart with trust and devotion.
As we reflect on the unwavering love of Jesus Christ, we are invited near to His Sacred Heart, the source of infinite mercy, grace, and light.
