Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

This is the view of the stained glass over the choir loft and vestibule at Holy Family Church (our parish church here in Granite City.) It was built in 1958 as Sacred Heart Church (dedicated on October 5, 1958.) This beautiful work of art was imported from Dublin, Ireland, and this picture is the view I have from the keyboard at every Mass.

"The term 'Sacred Heart of Jesus' denotes the entire mystery of Christ, the totality of his being, and his person... Devotion to the Sacred Heart is a wonderful historical expression of the Church's piety for Christ...it calls for a fundamental attitude of conversion and reparation, of love and gratitude, apostolic commitment and dedication to Christ and his saving work."

- Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy, #166, 172

"The Sacred Heart of Jesus... 'is quite rightly considered the chief sign and symbol of that... love with which the divine Redeemer continually loves the eternal Father and all human beings' without exception."

- Catechism of the Catholic Church, #478

Happy Feast Day... and, appropriately, happy start of the "Year of Priests" to our priest friends and fathers.

@owainc @RayPunSD I'd love to hear Father's take on that. There is a personal element missing in the digital self if we're not careful. 2012/05/16
I think there's more a direct relationship of convenience-2-multichannel than indirect of trust-2-multi http://t.co/awl387zc @MineThatData 2012/05/16
