Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Tuam Cathedral, Co. Galway

When Our Lord appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque (seen above), He asked for a special feast in honor of His Sacred Heart. It occurs on the Friday after the Sunday within the Octave of Corpus Christi, which is June 16th this year.

"God alone can fill our heart. We need to be understood, to be loved; Jesus alone can fully understand us, can love us as we need to be loved. He is the God of infinite Charity Who has placed love in the heart of all mothers, of all loving hearts... All these great loves united are only as a drop of water in comparison with the ocean of love, which is the Heart of Jesus!" 

~ Lieutenant-Colonel M. de S. Draw Near to Jesus: Turn to His Heart, imprimatur 1923.
