Today, the bishops of the United States will consecrate our nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
As Pope Francis taught, "the flames of love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus expand through the Church's missionary outreach, which proclaims the message of God's love revealed in Christ."
The consecration of our nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is meant to ignite us with a renewed sense of mission, not just from "sea to shining sea" but across the seas to missionary territories.
To bring fire everywhere is the mission of the Church.
May the flames of Christ's love renew our hearts and strengthen us to proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
