THE FEAST OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS Celebrating
THE FEAST OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUSCelebrating Christ’s Love for all MankindDevotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus goes back at least tothe 11th century, but through the 16th century, it remained aprivate devotion, often tied to devotion to the Five Woundsof Christ.The Feast of the Sacred Heart is one of the most popular inthe Catholic Church; it is celebrated in the spring on adifferent date each year.Date: 19 days after Pentecost SundayType of Feast: SolemnityReadings: Hosea 11:1, 3-4, 8c-9; Isaiah 12:2-3, 4, 5-6;Ephesians 3:8-12; John 19:31-37According to the Gospel of John (19:33), when Jesus wasdying on the cross "one of the soldiers pierced his side with aspear, and at once there came out blood and water." Thecelebration of the Sacred Heart is associated with thephysical wound (and the associated sacrifice), the "mystery"of both blood and water pouring from Christ's chest, and thedevotion God asks from humankind.Pope Pius XII wrote about the Sacred Heart in his 1956encyclical, Haurietis Aquas (On Devotion To The SacredHeart):Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is devotionto Jesus Christ Himself, but in the particular waysof meditating on his interior life and on Histhreefold love: His divine love, His burning lovethat fed His human will, and His sensible love thataffects His interior life.1 Sacred Heart of Jesus
History of the Feast of the Sacred HeartThe first feast of the Sacred Heart was celebrated on August 31,1670, in Rennes, France, through the efforts of Fr. Jean Eudes(1602-1680). From Rennes, the devotion spread, but it took thevisions of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690) for thedevotion to become universal.In all of these visions, in which Jesus appeared to St. MargaretMary, the Sacred Heart of Jesus played a central role. The"great apparition," which took place on June 16, 1675, duringthe octave of the Feast of Corpus Christi, is the source of themodern Feast of the Sacred Heart. In that vision, Christ askedSt. Margaret Mary to request that the Feast of the Sacred Heartbe celebrated on the Friday after the octave (or eighth day) ofthe Feast of Corpus Christi, in reparation for the ingratitude ofmen for the sacrifice that Christ had made for them. The SacredHeart of Jesus represents not simply His physical heart but Hislove for all mankind.The devotion became quite popular after St. Margaret Mary'sdeath in 1690, but, because the Church initially had doubtsabout the validity of St. Margaret Mary's visions, it wasn't until1765 that the feast was celebrated officially in France. Almost100 years later, in 1856, Pope Pius IX, at the request of theFrench bishops, extended the feast to the universal Church. It iscelebrated on the day requested by our Lord-the Friday afterthe octave of Corpus Christi, or 19 days after Pentecost Sunday.Source:ThoughtCo.

Rule, O Lord, not only over the faithful whonever have gone away from Thee, but also of theprodigal children who have abandoned Thee, andmake them return quickly to their Father's house, lestthey perish of misery and hunger. Rule over those whohave been misled by error, or separated by schism,and call them back to the haven of truth and the unityof faith, so that there may be soon be one fold andone Shepherd.Lastly, rule over all who are sunk in the oldsuperstition of the Gentiles, and vouchsafe to bringthem out of darkness into the light and kingdom ofGod. Give to Thy Church, O Lord, safety and sureliberty; give to all nations peace and order; and grantthat, over the whole earth from pole to pole, mayresound the words, "Praise be to the Divine Heartthrough which was brought to us salvation, glory andhonor be it forever."
