Do you share your Catholic faith with others? Do you defend your Catholic faith when the situa-tion arises or do you remain silent? Do you pray in public before meals? Pray for the strength and courage to be a joyful witness of our Catholic faith when the opportunity presents itself. Let us become the radiant light and bold witness that we are called to be!

So do not be afraid;

Ask Father James: What does praying to the Sacred Heart of Jesus mean?

Why separate his heart from his body?

Praying to or devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is not a dualistic division of Jesus Christ. It is a meditation

with intention to connect with the pulse and beat of his divine love so as to attain union with His divine heart.

The heart of Jesus is the core and seat of compassion. Jesus invites all who are carrying heavy burden to come

to him. He says; "learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart” He tells us that He is gentle and humble

of heart (Matthew 11:29). The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus recalls Christ's love for us. We

recall Christ’s unconditional love exemplified in the blood and water which poured forth from Christ’s heart in

his sacrifice on the cross.

The heart is the natural symbol of love and affection. God created us out of love and when we became

overwhelmed by sin, out of love, God sent Jesus into the world to come save us (John 3:16). Jesus’ heart is

always moved with pity when he sees crowds coming towards him (Matthew 9:36) and when he was raised on

the cross, Jesus’ side was pierced by the soldier’s spear and “immediately there came out blood and

water” (John 19:34-35). He was pierced for our sin because Jesus gave himself up for us with a wonderful love.

This piercing came to be understood as a wound of love in His heart and in patristic thought, the blood and

water is symbolic of the sacraments of Eucharist and Baptism, His outstretched hands from on top of the cross

is his invitation to us to embrace his love for us with open heart.

The spirituality of devotion to the Most Sacred Heart grew out of the understanding that the Heart of God and

human hearts is interconnected but became dislodged due to sin, but is now bridged by the Heart of Jesus. The

Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that the prayer of the Church venerates and honours the Heart of

Jesus just as it invokes his most holy name. It adores the incarnate Word and his Heart which, out of love for

men, he allowed to be pierced by our sins. Christian prayer loves to follow the way of the cross in the Saviour's

steps (CCC # 2669). And Pope Francis, through his weekly address on Wednesday 17 June, 2020 said; “I invite

you to discover the riches that are hidden in the Heart of Jesus, to learn to love your neighbour.”

In the 11th century, pious Christians started to meditate on the Five Wounds of Christ to connect to his heart. In

the 17th-century, a French nun and mystic, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque had multiple visions of the Sacred

Heart between 1673 and 1675 and she revealed twelve promises made by Jesus to those who honour his sacred

heart. Jesus asked that the modern Feast of the Sacred Heart be celebrated each year on the Friday following

Corpus Christi, in reparation for the ingratitude of men for the sacrifice which Christ had made for them and

that the faithful to receive Him in the Eucharist frequently, especially on the First Friday of the month, and to

observe a Holy Hour of devotion to Him.

“If the fever of selfish greed rages in you, feed on this bread and you will learn generosity. If the cold wind of coveting withers you, hasten to the Bread of Angels and charity will

come to blossom in your heart.” - St. Cyril of Alexandria
