The Sacred Heart: We Always Need Jesus

By: Emily Jaminet June 7th, 2026

This year, the Feast of the Sacred Heart falls on June 12, but on June 11, the United States of America will be Consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by the American Catholic Bishops. This great act is a powerful way to seek the Lord anew, as all the Bishops in the United States will pray this Consecration prayer in unity at their annual spring gathering in Orlando, FL. June 11 also marks 127 years since the world was consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 1899 by Pope Leo XIII. The world was struggling with the rise of secularism, political unrest, and attacks on the faith when the Holy Father decided to consecrate the world. Now, in honor of America 250, the United States being Consecrated is a reminder that every generation always needs Jesus and an invitation to return to the love, mercy, and kingship of Jesus.
