Let's Celebrate the Sacred Heart of Jesus in June!
The Sacred Heart of Jesus represents the love Jesus has for us and the suffering he endured by dying for our sins.
We have compiled resources and activities for families to learn about the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the webpage below.
Symbolism
The Sacred Heart has flames coming out of it because Jesus’ heart is burning with love for us. The cross and the crown of thorns (like he wore during his crucifixion) represent his suffering and how he died for our sins. The rays of light coming from the heart remind us that Jesus is the Light of the World
