Renewing devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus


 THE YEAR OF THE PRIEST.

Priest offering Mass.


Welcome to my eighth post on 'The Year of the Priest' Series. Each week until end of June 2010, this series will provide food for thought on the Year of the Priest', examine how we, as laity, can appreciate the gift of Priesthood in the Sacrament of Holy Orders, and encourage our priests in this special year. If you missed my last four posts on this series, why not take a look.


RENEWING DEVOTION TO THE SACRED HEART.


As we direct our prayers to Him and to His Heart, wounded on the cross for us, we can place the ministry and holiness of all priests in His loving embrace. By doing this, we can increase our own devotional prayer life by renewing our dedication to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on behalf of all priests. Learning and keeping the Nine consecutive first Fridays and understanding the nature of the promises can be found here.  
Another interesting article which explains the nature and source of the promises is located here. 

As we journey in The Year of the Priest we could show our support for our priests by attending the Mass of the Chrism held in Holy Week and praying for him.
