This is Holy Family School of Faith.

So let us begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

And let's call to mind all those that we've promised to pray for on this day, the feast of the sacred heart of Jesus.

I'm offering this especially for the healing of Olivia Canale, for the strengthening of Jeannie Sherman.

I want to offer this for my mother who is getting prepared for hip surgery but her...

Well we have to get her hemoglobin.

Isn't that interesting that on the feast of the sacred heart of Jesus

That we have to get the hemoglobin out for my mom. So we're gonna pray for that

And now let's pause for a moment that you can offer add all of your own intentions.

Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alicoke on December 27, 1673, revealing to her his sacred heart. In her autobiography she writes,

while I was praying before the Eucharist, Jesus presented himself to me, all resplendent with glory, his five wounds shining like so many

sons, flames issued from every part of his sacred humanity, especially from his chest, which

resembled an open furnace and disclosed to me his most loving heart which was the living source of these flames.

It was then that he made known to me the indescribable and excessive love he has for all people, most for whom he receives only

in gratitude and contempt.

And then Jesus said to her, I feel this more than all, I feel this more than all I suffered

during my passion.

If only they would make me some return for my love, I should think but little of all I have done for them and would wish were it possible to suffer still more.

But the sole return they make for all my eagerness to do them good is to reject me and treat

me with coldness. And then he looked at her and he said to her holding

his sacred heart in his hand, Margaret, will you at least console me by making up for their ingratitude?
