On Friday, June 19th, the Catholic Church celebrates The Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The devotion to the Sacred Heart is one whereby we see Jesus Christ’s physical heart as the representation of his divine love for humanity; a beautiful visual indeed; and one we need especially now, as we all deal with the tragic death of George Floyd, and the attention it has drawn to social injustice and inequality. So this week, our prayer theme will be to pray to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, for those intentions we hold in the silence of our hearts.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Sweet Jesus, your heart beats for the brokenhearted, and you know their pain. I ask you for relief and release right now in this time of grief. I cry out to your heart, seeking comfort and consolation. Take this present heartache and unite it to your own for the good of others. (Petition). You are my hope, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, the symbol of your divine love for humanity; hear and answer my hope, hear and answer me.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
