The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
The symbol of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a calling for all to put Jesus Christ into the centre of their lives. In June we especially honour the humility, love, and mercy of Our Blessed Lord Who died in atonement for our sins. Let us not forget His tremendous sacrifice and strive to make reparation for all the grave offences we commit against His Sacred Heart through our sinful pride and arrogance.
Our Parish is named for the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This coming month of June is a perfect opportunity to develop/strengthen our devotion to the Sacred Heart. Three simple ways to do this are:
1. Pray a Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus daily;
2. Visit a Catholic Church at least once a week and spend time in front of the Blessed Sacrament;
3. Give up something (like in lent) in reparation for the offenses committed against the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Prayer to the Scared Heart by St Margaret Mary Alcoque
Lord Jesus, let my heart never rest until it finds You, Who are its centre, its love, and its happiness.
By the wound in Your heart pardon the sins that I have committed whether out of malice or out of evil desires.
Place my weak heart in Your Own Divine Heart, continually under Your protection and guidance, so that I may persevere in doing good and in fleeing evil until my last breath. Amen. 
First Saturday Prayer of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
O Most Holy Virgin, and Our Mother, we listen with grief to the complaints of your Immaculate Heart surrounded with the thorns placed therein at every moment by the blasphemies and ingratitude of ungrateful humanity. We are moved by the ardent desire of loving you as Our Mother and of promising a true devotion to Your Immaculate Heart. We therefore kneel before you to manifest the sorrow we feel for the grievances that people cause you, and to atone by our prayers and sacrifices for the offences with which they return your love. Obtain for them and for us the pardon of so many sins. Hasten the conversion of sinners that they may love Jesus Christ and cease to offend the Lord, already so much offended. Turn your eyes of mercy towards us, that we may love God with all our heart on earth and enjoy Him forever in Heaven. Amen.
