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 Excerpt from Archbishop Fulton Sheen on The Blessed Trinity Corpus Christi Sunday St. Andrew’s Parish Bulletin June 5/6, 2021 St. Andrew’s Parish Bulletin September 02, 2018 Today,0 we celebrate , 2011 the solemn Feast of Corpus Christi.
