The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Devotion to the love of Jesus, symbolised by
the heart, began with the extraordinary experiences of St. Margaret Mary in
Paray-le-Monial in France. Since then it
has spread all over the world, and many people observe the first Friday of
every month as a day specially set aside for this devotion. Today’s liturgy celebrates the great love of
Jesus the good Shepherd who gives his life for his own

Questions people ask (Fr
O’Flynn-Intercom)
Q: What grounds have we for believing that the
consecrated bread is the body of Christ?
A: Our belief is based on the words of Jesus
and the belief of his first followers.
If the physical human body of Jesus had been subjected to modern DNA
testing, the result would show that he was human but would fail to detect his
divine nature. Similarly, analysis of
the sacred Eucharist would reveal the physical components of bread. Yet Jesus, at the last supper took bread and
said unequivocally, “this is my body, which is for you”. Belief in his Eucharistic presence is not
based on science but on accepting the word of the lord!
