PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS FOR LOVE AND MERCY
Lord Jesus,
You gave your life for us.
Your Sacred Heart is ablaze with love.
Your hand extends towards me, and towards all,
offering love, mercy, and healing.
Sacred Heart of Jesus may your love transform me.
Burn away my hesitation that I may become your
love and radiate your mercy.
Amen.
from Archbishop Gomez:
A Dodgers event that honored a group that mocks women religious, and worse, desecrates the Cross and profanes the Eucharist has caused disappointment, dismay, and pain in our Catholic community, as well as among our fellow Christians and people of good will. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles stands for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which means we stand against any form of bigotry, hate, or sacrilege.
The Archdiocese calls on Catholics to stand together in prayer. The hurt on our hearts can only be healed by the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Likewise, we can be set on fire by his love to witness to the sacred truth, goodness, and beauty of our faith with conviction and courage.
Additionally, in the days ahead of this moment of prayer, we continue to pray for conversion of heart.
