The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus begins today. EWTN has an excellent resource on the day and the devotion: What is the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus?
This is a moveable feast that honors the Sacred Heart. In 1675, Jesus told St. Margaret Mary that He wanted the Feast of the Sacred Heart to be celebrated on the Friday after the Corpus Christi octave. In 1856, the Feast of the Sacred Heart became a universal feast.
St. John Paul II, a great devotee of the Sacred Heart, said, “This feast reminds us of the mystery of the love of God for the people of all times.”
In 2025, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 27.
