Dear Parish Bulletin Reps: June is dedicated to The Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Holy Father’s Intentions for the Month of June, 2021 ~ The Beauty of Marriage – Let us pray for young people who are preparing for marriage with the support of a Christian community may they grow in love with generosity, faithfulness and patience. Feasts for June: Memorial of Mary, Mother of the Church, Justin (6/1), Charles Lwanga and Companions (6/5), Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (6/6), Sacred Heart of Jesus (6/11), Immaculate Heart of Mary (6/12), Aloysius Gonzaga (6/21), Solemnity of St. John the Baptist (6/24), Irenaeus (6/28), Peter and Paul (6/29), First Martyrs of the Church of Rome (6/30).
God is Love, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, present on earth in the Blessed Sacrament, is the human manifestation of God’s Love for men. June is considered, therefore, the month for weddings where human hearts join and cooperate with the Creator in bringing forth new life. The family they create is a human reflection of the Blessed Trinity. For Our Lord came to cast the fire of His love on the earth, and to that end, sent His Holy Spirit at Pentecost in the form of tongues of fire. May the Heart of Jesus inflame our hearts so that we may be worthy of our Baptismal call to holiness. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us. ~ Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my heart in Thee. ~ St. Padre Pio.
Prayed daily by Padre Pio for all those who asked his prayers, ‘Effacacious Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus’: I.O my Jesus, You have said, “Truly I say to you, ask and it will be given you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you.” Behold, I knock, I seek and ask for the grace of… Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory be to the Father… Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you. II. Repeat: “O my Jesus, You have said…….. III. Repeat: “O my Jesus, You have said….. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us poor sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of you, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your tender Mother and ours. ~ St. Padre Pio.
