Celebrate Two Hearts, One Mercy
6th Jun 2025
This week, the Church celebrates two great devotions—first the solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Friday, June 27), then the memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Saturday, June 28).
Together they reveal one mystery: the boundless love of Christ and the maternal love that always points us back to Him.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus | The Heart that Saves
“Behold this Heart which has so loved men.” – Our Lord to St. Margaret Mary
Why it matters
The pierced Heart of Jesus is a living symbol of His total gift of Self—Divine Mercy poured out for sinners.
