DEVOTION to Sacred Heart : Month of June

Since the 16th century Catholic piety has assigned entire months to special devotions. The

month of June is set apart for devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. "From among all the

proofs of the infinite goodness of our Savior none stands out more prominently than the fact

that, as the love of the faithful grew cold, He, Divine Love Itself, gave Himself to us to be hon-

ored by a very special devotion and that the rich treasury of the Church was thrown wide open

in the interests of that devotion." These words of Pope Pius XI refer to the Sacred Heart Devo-

tion, which in its present form dates from the revelations given to Saint Margaret Mary Ala-

coque in 1673-75.

The devotion consists in the divine worship of the human heart of Christ, which is united to His

divinity and which is a symbol of His love for us. The aim of the devotion is to make our Lord

king over our hearts by prompting them to return love to Him (especially through an act of

consecration by which we offer to the Heart of Jesus both ourselves and all that belongs to us)

and to make reparation for our ingratitude to God.

Prayer:

INVOCATION

O Heart of love, I put all my trust in Thee; for I fear all things from my own weakness, but I

hope for all things from Thy goodness. Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque




PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART

Devotion to the Sacred Heart was the characteristic note of the piety of Saint Gertrude the

Great (1256-1302), Benedictine nun and renowned mystic. She was, in fact, the first great ex-

ponent of devotion to the Sacred Heart. In our efforts to honor the Heart of Jesus we have this

prayer as a model for our own: Hail! O Sacred Heart of Jesus, living and quickening source

of eternal life, infinite treasure of the Divinity, and burning furnace of divine love. Thou art my

refuge and my sanctuary, 0 my amiable Savior. Consume my heart with that burning fire with

which Thine is ever inflamed. Pour down on my soul those graces which flow from Thy love,

and let my heart be so united with Thine, that our wills may be one, and mine in all things be conformed to

Thine. May Thy divine will be equally the standard and rule of all my desires and of all my actions.

Amen. Saint Gertrude

FOR THE CHURCH

O most holy Heart of Jesus, shower Thy blessings in abundant measure upon Thy holy

Church, upon the Supreme Pontiff and upon all the clergy; to the just grant perseverance;

convert sinners; enlighten unbelievers; bless our relations, friends and benefactors; assist the

dying; deliver the holy souls in purgatory; and extend over all hearts the sweet empire of Thy

love. Amen.

A PRAYER OF TRUST

O God, who didst in wondrous manner reveal to the virgin, Margaret Mary, the unsearchable

riches of Thy Heart, grant that loving Thee, after her example, in all things and above all

things, we may in Thy Heart find our abiding home. Roman Missal




ACT OF LOVE

Reveal Thy Sacred Heart to me, O Jesus, and show me Its attractions. Unite me to It for ever.

Grant that all my aspirations and all the beats of my heart, which cease not even while I sleep,

may be a testimonial to Thee of my love for Thee and may say to Thee: Yes, Lord, I am all

Thine; pledge of my allegiance to Thee rests ever in my heart will never cease to be there. Do

Thou accept the slight amount of good that I do and be graciously pleased to repair all m]

wrong-doing; so that I may be able to bless Thee in time and in eternity. Amen. Cardinal Merry

del Val

MEMORARE TO THE SACRED HEART Remember, O most sweet Jesus, that no

one who has had recourse to Thy Sacred Heart, implored its help, or sought it mercy was ever

abandoned. Encouraged with confidence, O tenderest of hearts, we present ourselves before

Thee, crushes beneath the weight of our sins. In our misery, O Sacred Hear. of Jesus, despise

not our simple prayers, but mercifully grant our requests.

Pope Francis @Pontifex May 01

May St Joseph, the humble workman of Nazareth,

direct us toward Christ, support the sacrifice of

those who do good, and intercede for those who

have lost their job or who are not successful in

finding a job.


In many countries May is the month of Mary.

May the Mother of God accompany us and pro-

tect

Christians in fighting against the forces of evil. Let

us entrust ourselves to her and pray for the

Church and for peace in the world.


We pray for those who live with severe illness.

Let us always safeguard life, God's gift, from

its

beginning until its natural end. Let us not give in

to a throwaway culture.


God does not reside in the greatness of that

which we accomplish, but in the littleness of the

poor persons that we meet. #Caritas


Dear parents, help your children discover the

love of Jesus! This will make them strong and

courageous. #GlobalParentsDay

HOLY FATHER’S INTENTIONS FOR

THE MONTH OF June.

The Mode of Life of Priests

That priests, through the modesty and humility

of their lives, commit themselves actively to a

solidarity with those who are most poor.

“Serving is the way that mission is carried out,

the only way to be a disciple of Jesus.”

Feast day: June 19 Venerated: October 3, 1975

Matt Talbot was born in 1856 to a poor family with 12 children in Dublin, Ireland. His father and several of his brothers were alcoholics. Matt began working as a messenger boy when he was 12 years old. He also be-gan drinking alcohol around the same time.

Once he began drinking, Matt could not stop. Alcohol became the most important thing in his life. He spent all his money on liquor, and when he did not have money from his regular job, he often stood outside a pub waiting for a friend to invite him in and buy him a drink. Soon he had no friends left. He once stole a fid-dle from a blind man, pawned the fiddle and used the money to buy alcohol. Whenever

he drank, he got into fights.

When he was 28 years old, Matt decided to stop drinking. He went to a priest for confession and then “took the pledge,” a common custom in Matt’s time. Alcoholics often made a promise to God in the pres-ence of a priest as a sign that they were going to give up drinking. Matt’s first pledge was for three months.

Matt turned to God for help. He began to go to daily Mass. He often spent his free time—the time he used to spend in the pub—praying. He became especially close to Mary. He knew that our Blessed Mother wanted to help him live a happy life. He read stories of the saints and joined the Third Order of St. Francis.

Matt stopped carrying the money he earned from his job in a lumberyard. He wanted to avoid the tempta-tion to spend it on liquor. Instead, he gave his wages away to friends who needed money for rent or to buy food or shoes for their children. He was also generous in donating money to his church.

Matt stayed sober for the rest of his life—almost 40 years. He was a man of simplicity. He was on his way to Mass when he died on a neighborhood street of a heart attack.

Matt Talbot has been declared “Venerable” by the Catholic Church. This is the first step on the journey to sainthood. Matt was healed from his addiction by God’s love and his faith. Like Matt, we can bring our troubles to God and Mary in prayer. We can remem-ber that God hears and answers all of our prayers. Today, many men and women who struggle with al-cohol addiction carry with them a “Matt Talbot” a medal with Talbot’s likeness on it, to help them in their struggle.
