Today, June 24th, is the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Solemnity is celebrated on the Friday that follows Corpus Christi. Devotion to the Heart of Jesus graces the writings of the Fathers of the Church and has blossomed throughout the prayer of many of the Church’s great saints. The heart is traditionally recognized as the seat of wisdom, the font from which compassion is called forth. We know no greater compassion, no more profound a love than that of our Savior Jesus Christ, whose own pierced Heart poured forth blood and water. From his Heart flowed the substance of the Church’s Baptismal and Eucharistic life, and within his Heart, his servants are held in perfect love.
