Sacred Heart of Jesus

Today (June 7) is the feast day of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This is the typical picture that represents the Sacred Heart. I am sure many of you recognize it.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus represents not only his real heart but it represents the huge love he has for all the people of the world. 

Here is a very simple prayer that you can say regularly.

“O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!"

Hey Cloë, I was listening quite carefully to all the readings today and I noticed that there was a lot of talk about shepherds?!

Well Tallulah, as we have talked about a few times, the image of Jesus as a shepherd is very common. A shepherd's job is to look after his sheep and to keep them safe and those are the things that Jesus does.
 
Here are just some of the beautiful images from today's readings. Notice how they show how much God loves us.

For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. ...I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the crippled, and I will strengthen the weak,... (Ezekiel 34: 11-16)
 
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want; he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.  (Psalm 23)

"What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it?  And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.  (Luke 15: 3-7)
