A Tribute to the Sacred Heart
The Feast of the Sacred Heart is celebrated in the month of June on the Friday after the Octave of Corpus Christi. This year it is June 11th. In our parish, we had all day Adoration – beginning with Mass at 7am and finishing with Sung Mass in evening. The sermon reminded us to make our Holy “Communion of Reparation“ to the Sacred Heart.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus is a very beautiful and heart felt devotion, reminding us of Jesus’ infinite Love and Mercy that He has for each of us.
History of the Devotion
- Began in 12th century
- Saints – Bonaventure, Gertrude, Catherine of Siena, John Eudes
- St Margaret Mary Alacoque promoted this devotion on France (with the support of St Claude de la Colombiere, S.J.)
- St. Margaret Mary Alacoque had visions from 1673 to 1675.
Jesus’ appearances to St Margaret Mary Alacoque:
- First Revelation: Dec 27th 1673 while she was kneeling in the chapel before the Bl. Sacrament. Jesus made known to her His ardent desire to be loved by men and His design of manifesting His Heart with all Its treasures of love and mercy, of sanctification and salvation
- The Second apparition: early in 1674, Margaret Mary saw Jesus’ Sacred Heart on a throne of flames, transparent as crystal, surrounded by a crown of thorns signifying the sins of mankind, with a cross above it.
Again Jesus told her of his infinite love for mankind and his desire that he should be honoured through the display of this image of his heart, with the promise that all who did so would be specially blessed.
- The third apparition probably took place on 2 July 1674,
Margaret Mary was praying before the Blessed Sacrament exposed,
She saw a vision of Jesus in glory, with his five wounds shining like suns, and he then showed her his heart on fire with love for mankind, a love that unfortunately was often ignored or treated with contempt.
(see the quote in the image below.) How can anyone ignore this heartfelt plea of Jesus?

We must pray and make reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We must make Jesus feel that He is “loved in return“.
Jesus revealed to St Margaret Mary the ways we can make reparation to His Sacred Heart. He asked us to practice the Nine First Fridays.
The following First Friday devotions are efficacious in honoring the Sacred Heart of Jesus:
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Act of Reparation
The Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
The Sacrament of Penance (Confession/Reconciliation)
Some beautiful aspirations that we can say often during the day:
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like unto Thine.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Sweet Heart of Jesus, I implore, that I may love Thee more and more.
Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my Love.
All for You, most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Your kingdom come.
Prayers to the Sacred Heart:
A Short Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart
Sacred Heart of Jesus, filled with infinite love, broken by my ingratitude, pierced by my sins, yet loving me still, accept the consecration that I make to You, of all that I am and all that I have. Take every faculty of my soul and body, and draw me, day by day, nearer and nearer to Your Sacred Side, and there, as I can bear the lesson, teach me Your blessed ways. Amen.
A Novena Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we know that there is but one thing impossible to You: to be without pity for those who are in suffering or distress. Look down on us, we beg of You and grant us the grace which we humbly and earnestly implore, through the Immaculate Heart of Your most sorrowful Mother to whom You confided us as her children, and whose prayers are all powerful with You. Amen.

Prayers revealed to us by Jesus in the Book of Truth

Jesus directed that we form an army of prayer groups around the world. He gave us the armour (including special prayers to say for various intentions) to use to help Him in these difficult days to save many souls.
We are all too aware of the need for Prayer in these times. Some of the prayers which explicitly mention the Sacred Heart are as follows:
Prayer to say after the Chaplet of Mercy (10th May, 2011 )

For Souls after The Warning (3-12-12)
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, show Mercy to all of us poor sinners. Enlighten those hearts of stone, so desperate in their quest for guidance. Forgive them their iniquities.

Cover them with Your Light, dear Jesus so that it will blind them to the wickedness and snares of the devil who will try to cut them off from You for eternity. I beg You to give all God’s children the strength to be thankful for Your Great Mercy. I ask that You open the door to Your Kingdom to all lost souls who wander the earth in a state of helplessness and hopelessness. Amen.
Allegiance to the Army of Jesus Christ Sept.15, 2013
We stand united to Your Sacred Heart, dear Jesus. We speak with authority the True Word of God. We will walk to the ends of the Earth to spread the Truth. We will never accept any new false doctrine in Your Name, other than that You taught us Yourself. We remain true, loyal and steadfast in our faith. We will treat those who betray You with love and compassion, in the hope that they will come back to You. We will be firm, but patient, with those who persecute us in Your Name. We will walk victorious all the way to Your New Paradise. We promise, that through our pain and suffering, we will bring You all those lost souls who are starved of Your Love. Please accept our prayers for all sinners in the world, so that we can become one family, united in love for You, in the New Era of Peace. Amen.

In Conclusion, hymns to the Sacred Heart express our heartfelt desire, love and longing for Jesus:
Sweet Heart of Jesus, fount of love and mercy,
Today we come, Thy blessings to implore;
Oh, touch our hearts, so cold and so ungrateful,
And make them, Lord, Thine own for evermore.
Refrain:
Sweet Heart of Jesus, we implore
Oh, make us love Thee more and more (2)
Sweet Heart of Jesus, make us know and love Thee
Unfold to us the treasures of Thy grace;
That so our hearts, from things of earth uplifted,
May long alone to gaze upon Thy face.
Sweet Heart of Jesus, make us pure and gentle,
And teach us how to do Thy blessed will;
To follow close the print of Thy dear footsteps,
And when we fall, sweet Heart, Oh, love us still.
4. Sweet Heart of Jesus, bless all hearts that love Thee,
And may Thine own Heart ever blessed be;
Bless us, dear Lord, and bless the friends we cherish,
And keep us true to Mary and to Thee.
