Bishop Tobin on the Sacred Heart of Jesus

"Each year in the springtime, following the Solemnities of Pentecost, the Most Holy Trinity, and Corpus Christi, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, one of the most important and beloved of Catholic devotions.

 

"The devotion to the Sacred Heart has historic roots, grounded even in the writings of the Fathers of the Church. In more recent times, though, the devotion grew in popularity with the divine revelations received by St. Margaret Mary Alacoque who lived in the 17th century, revelations that centered on the Sacred Heart of Jesus. . . ."

In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence (RI), reflected on the importance of, in the midst of any burdens we may be carrying or challenges we are facing, turning with "confidence to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, finding there the fount of mercy and love, the sure remedy of all our ills.".
