Our Lady of the Rosary Sacred Heart Society



Today’s story of Jesus’ love and all-encompassing compassionate action for every person is an appropriate reflection for the feast of the Sacred Heart. 
Everything Jesus ever said or did was rooted in his Sacred Heart and was poured out at his love upon every person, especially those most in need.
 His compassion grew out of his perfect human heart & perfect divine selfless love for humanity.
It is right that the Church, for a very long time now, gives devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
At Our Lady of the Rosary we have had such devotion - the Sacred Heart Society since 1946.
I am sure that the devotion, a least informally, goes back to the earliest days of OLR.
Their faithful devotion is a sign for us all, of the very object of their devotion.
Their devotion to the love of Jesus for us is a devotion of their love for Jesus.  
They love he who loves us first, they simply return love for love.
So let us give thanks to the Society of the Sacred Heart; its members past, present and future, and their families for their steadfast and loving devotion that benefits us all.
 May the Lord pour out his compassionate blessing upon them all/
