The month of June is dedicated to The Sacred Heart of Jesus. Pope Benedict XVI urged us by saying “Every person needs a "centre" for his own life, a source of truth and goodness to draw from in the daily events, in the different situations and in the toil of daily life. Every one of us, when he/she pauses in silence, needs to feel not only his/her own heartbeat, but deeper still, the beating of a trustworthy presence, perceptible with faith's senses and yet much more real: the presence of Christ, the heart of the world. Therefore, I invite each one of you to renew in the month of June his/her own devotion to the Heart of Christ, also using the traditional prayer of the daily offering and keeping present the intentions I have proposed for the whole Church. Next to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the liturgy invites us to venerate the Immaculate Heart of Mary. With great confidence let us entrust ourselves to her.”
And as we all know that 12th promise Jesus Said "I promise thee in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the First Friday in nine consecutive months, the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving the Sacraments; My Divine heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment."
If we miss to achieve the nine and the five consecutive months of devotion to Sacred Heart of Jesus and/or to Immaculate Heart of Mary for what ever reason, let start in this month again and those we completed nine month and the five consecutive months let's do it again, because as St. Francis de Sales said "Who truly desires Love, seeks it truly. And who truly seeks it, surely finds it. And who finds it has found the Fountain of Life." It is vital to keep the Fountain of Life until we depart form this world.
In this month I recommend to meditate on the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary History and prayers once again.

Missionary: That the Holy Spirit may bring forth from our communities numerous missionary vocations, willing to fully consecrate themselves to spreading the Kingdom of God.
