The month of June is traditionally dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the highest human expression
of divine love. The Heart of Jesus is the ultimate
symbol of God’s mercy – but it is not an imaginary symbol, it is a real symbol, which represents the
center, the source from which salvation for all humanity gushed forth. The Lord is always watching
us with mercy, always awaits us with mercy. Let us be
not afraid to approach Him!
Let us turn to the Virgin Mary: her immaculate heart –
a mother’s heart – has shared the “compassion” of
God to the full, especially at the hour of the passion
and death of Jesus. May Mary help us to be meek, humble and compassionate with our brethren.
- Pope Francis
