You are invited to join us every month on First Friday mornings, at the 7:30 AM Mass, to celebrate the Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We begin by praying the Sacred Heart prayer as a community, at 7:30am. At the conclusion of the mass, and while we are praying the rosary, there is also Eucharistic Adoration for one hour. (Stay as long as your time permits) Confession is also available at this same time. This devotional experience, of praying to our Blessed Mother while in the real presence of her Son, provides nourishment for our own spiritual journeys, as it offers us a chance to grow in our devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.The Devotion to the Sacred Heart is a centuries-old Catholic practice centered on Jesus’ deep, personal love for each of us. It focuses on His Heart not just as a symbol, but as the real, living source of divine love, mercy, and compassion. Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in the 1600s and revealed His Heart burning with love, asking her and all of us to “Behold this Heart which has so loved men... and is so little loved in return.” He asked for a special devotion to His Sacred Heart — especially on First Fridays — to make reparation for the sins of the world and to draw souls into His merciful love. This devotion helps us to grow closer to Jesus personally, heart to heart. It helps us find peace, strength and mercy in His presence. Lastly it calls us to respond to His love with love, trust and faithfulness.
