Mariola Lopez, RSCJ, and Paqui Rodriguez, RSCJ, of the Province of Spain share this prayer-reflection guide for the Feast of the Sacred Heart June 24, 2022.

As we celebrate and reflect during the month of the Feast of the Sacred Heart, we recognize the many ways the wide Sacred Heart family continues to discover and reveal God's love in the heart of the world. The mission of the Society of the Sacred Heart continues to deepen and flourish in the United States – Canada Province, and at the heart of this mission lies connection.

As we approach the great Feast of Pentecost, when the courage to speak the truth and witness to the invincible power of God’s love became visible in the birth of the Church, we stop to reflect on the gun violence in the United States and the responsibility we have for transformative education and love.

By Julie Siderfin, Associate St. Charles, Missouri Julie delivered this reflection at the Associates liturgy and gathering in St. Louis, Missouri, for the feast of Saint Madeline Sophie Barat. It’s all about Love: Paul’s letter, Christ’s words, Sophie’s feast, and this evening’s beautiful gathering.
