America Magazine published a story written by our very own Bishop David J. Bonnar, titled, “The human heart and the Sacred Heart: What Pope Francis can teach us about a holy devotion.” In this reflection, Bishop Bonnar discusses the human heart, Pope Francis’ encyclical on the human heart, titled Dilexit Nos, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Bishop Bonar Crosier - Top

Bishop Bonnar: Led by our Holy Father, we turn to Mary today, at the same hour, and not only celebrate the joyful mystery of the annunciation but also her influence and intercession on our lives. In a particular way, we lift our hearts in prayer for the people of Ukraine and Russia in what is for us the greatest of prayers, the Holy Mass, and we echo the prayer and desire of our Holy Father that Ukraine and Russia be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. To be consecrated is to be set apart for the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
