Dear Friend,
You still have an opportunity to
include your intentions on the last day of our Holy Masses, invoking
the Sacred Heart of Jesus, on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart
of Jesus, June 11; please submit your personal
intentions.
As we celebrate the great Solemnity
today, let us meditate on Cardinal Burke’s words, from his homily,
during Operation Storm Heaven’s Holy Mass on June 1st. View the Mass
and Homily here.
“The heart of Jesus in fact
represents the whole of the mystery of faith, the whole of the pascal
mystery, the mystery of the redemptive incarnation, for it represents
that constant immeasurable outpouring of divine grace from the
glorious heart of Jesus assumed into heaven upon the Church and into
the souls of all the faithful. We know that Our Lord is always true
to His promise – for us, our salvation, our eternal salvation and we
see in the heart of Jesus, the glorious pierced heart of Jesus, the
sign of that fidelity of the Lord to His promises, the anchor of our
hope.”
Here are some suggestions for
honoring the Sacred Heart of Jesus throughout the year:
- Consider
receiving Holy Communion on nine consecutive First Fridays, in honor
of and in reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
- Carry
your cross and heavy burdens daily out of love for the Sacred Heart
and say with great affection: “Heart of Jesus, be my
salvation!”

O most Holy Heart of Jesus,
fountain of every blessing, I adore You, I love You, and with a lively
sorrow for my sins, I offer You this poor heart of mine. Make me
humble, patient, pure, and wholly obedient to Your will. Grant, good
Jesus, that I may live in You and for You. Protect me in the midst of
danger; comfort me in my afflictions. Give me health of body,
assistance in my temporal needs, (mention your personal intentions
here) Your blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death.
Amen.
Thank you for joining me and our prayer warriors throughout the
world. Let us continue to Storm Heaven, invoking the Heart of
Jesus, who is rich in mercy and love, to have mercy on us and on
the whole world!
Your friend in Christ,
