June – A Month to Honor the Sacred Heart and Make Reparations

Now if, because of our sins also which were as yet in the future, but were foreseen, the soul of Christ became sorrowful unto death, it cannot be doubted that then, too, already He derived somewhat of solace from our reparation, which was likewise foreseen, when “there appeared to Him an angel from heaven” (Lk. 22: 43), in order that His Heart, oppressed with weariness and anguish, might find consolation.

These words, drawn from Pope Pius XI’s 1928 encyclical Miserentissimus Redemptor, beckon the faithful to cultivate a spirit of reparation to Our Lord’s Sacred Heart. June, which Holy Mother Church designated as the month in which the Feast of the Sacred Heart is celebrated, is a time for Catholics to make regular visits to the Blessed Sacrament, offering prayers and sacrifices for their sins and those of all mankind.
