*Peace be with you!* The next novena we're praying is the Novena to the *Sacred Heart of Jesus!* Several saints had a special devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, such as Padre Pio and St. Augustine, but most people today know about this devotion due to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. St. Margaret Mary was a French nun who experienced a series of apparitions of Jesus. In these visions, Jesus shared with her that He wanted more people to honor and be devoted to His Sacred Heart. We'll start praying this novena together next *Wednesday, June 18th.* For this novena, we will reflect on Jesus' love for each and every one of us. We will pray for our hearts to be conformed to His Sacred Heart, for us to be more merciful, more loving, and more Christ-like. We look forward to praying this Novena with you.
