Most Sacred Heart of Jesus - Feast Day May 30

The Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is celebrated by the Catholic faithful on May 30, the Friday following the second Sunday of the Pentecost. The feast instituted God's infinite love for mankind by dying on the cross. This then contributed to the creation among the faithful of a powerful current of devotion which since then has grown steadily stronger.

EFFICACIOUS NOVENA TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

Prayer for the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Father, we rejoice in the gifts of love we have received from the heart of Jesus your Son. Open our hearts to share his life and continue to bless us with his love. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Quotable Quote on the Sacred Heart of Jesus
“In biblical language, "heart" indicates the centre of the person where his sentiments and intentions dwell. In the Heart of the Redeemer we adore God's love for humanity, his will for universal salvation, his infinite mercy. Practising devotion to the Sacred Heart of Christ therefore means adoring that Heart which, after having loved us to the end, was pierced by a spear and from high on the Cross poured out blood and water, an inexhaustible source of new life” - Pope Benedict XVI, Angelus 5 June 2005

May the month of "Our Blessed Mother Mary"

HAIL MARY:
GENTLE WOMAN
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
and blest is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death. Amen.

Gentle woman, quiet light
Morning star, so strong and bright,
gentle Mother, peaceful dove,
teach us wisdom; teach us love.

You were chosen by the Father;
You were chosen for the Son.
You were chosen from all women

and for women, shining one.

Gentle woman, quiet light
Morning star, so strong and bright,
gentle Mother, peaceful dove,
teach us wisdom; teach us love.

Blessed are you among women,
blest in turn, all women, too.
Blessed they with peaceful spirits.
Blessed they with gentle hearts.

Gentle woman, quiet light
Morning star, so strong and bright,
gentle Mother, peaceful dove,
teach us wisdom; teach us love.
