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.

This weekend, all of our parishes in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans have been asked to pray through the Sacred Heart for the faithful departed as we prepare for Archbishop Checchio to consecrate the archdiocese to the Sacred Heart of Jesus next Sunday, June 14th in communion with the U.S. Catholic Bishops who will do so for the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.

We hold our beloved dead close to our hearts and hope that their souls are experiencing eternal rest and perpetual light. For those in heaven, may they intercede to the Lord for our needs.

For the souls in purgatory, may our prayers - especially the ones we offer this weekend - help to complete their purification.

May we one day be reunited in the halls of Heaven.

We encourage you to take part as fully as you are able—especially through prayer at Mass.
