We honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus in a special way every June. It’s the perfect time to meditate on how you receive Jesus’ love and reflect it to others.
Here are some beautiful quotes from Scripture, saints and popes to inspire you during this month of divine love.
Matthew 11:29
“Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
Pope Leo XIV
“The prophet Ezekiel describes God as a shepherd who watches over his flock, counting his sheep one by one. He seeks out the lost, binds up the wounded, and strengthens the weak and sick. He thus reminds us, in this age of vast and devastating conflicts, that the love of God has no limits. We are called to let ourselves be embraced and shaped by that love, and to realize that in God’s eyes — and our own as well — there is no place for division and hatred of any kind.”
Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque
“[Jesus opened] to me His Divine Heart: ‘Behold this Heart which has so loved men that It spared nothing, even going so far as to exhaust and consume Itself, to prove to them Its love.’”
Pope St. John Paul II
“Jesus ceaselessly receives from the Father, rich in mercy and compassion, the love which he lavishes upon human beings. His Heart particularly reveals the generosity of God towards sinners. God's reaction to sin is not to lessen his love, but to expand it into a flow of mercy which becomes the initiative of the Redemption.”
Pope Francis
“Many a page of the Gospel illustrates how attentive Jesus was to individuals and above all to their problems and needs…Whenever we feel that everyone ignores us, that no one cares what becomes of us, that we are of no importance to anyone, he remains concerned for us.
St. Teresa of Calcutta
“Do not let the past disturb you, just leave everything in the Sacred Heart and begin again with joy.”
St. Thérèse of Lisieux
“Ever since I have been given the grace to understand also the love of the heart of Jesus, I admit that it has expelled all fear from my heart. The remembrance of my faults humbles me, draws me never to depend on my strength, which is only weakness, but this remembrance speaks to me of mercy and love even more.”
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
