Encouragement for the Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus



We have a number of servers applying for advancement to the level of Senior Acolyte. In addition to an absolutely grueling, horrific, terrifying, and painful 20 question test, the servers must also be open to a devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

In the first rank, Junior Acolyte, an devotion to the Blessed Mother of God is encouraged because Mary leads us to Jesus. Therefore, the second rank serves to fulfill that path in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Sacraments and Adoration are specifically encouraged as a way to embrace and experience Jesus Christ. Without faith in Christ, detailed movements and Latin phrases in the Mass are empty.

Also, the First Friday devotion is encouraged in addition to learning about St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. Please follow the links to learn more.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
