Today, Wednesday the 29th, we begin praying the novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, whose feast day, this year 2024, will be celebrated next Friday, June 7.
“Behold the Heart that has loved men so much and that has spared nothing to the point of exhausting itself and consuming itself to witness its love to them,” the Lord manifested to Saint Margaret of Alacoque, the visionary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in June 1675.
