On this Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in D. Jakosalem St., Cebu City, celebrates its annual fiesta.
Cebu Archbishop Jose S. Palma presided over the Holy Mass. He was joined by Fr. Cesar Marin, SJ (Parish Priest), the Parochial Vicars, and other visiting priests.
In his homily, the good Archbishop emphasized that as we contemplate and look at the image of the Sacred Heart, may we be reminded of the tremendous love of God for all of us.
He urged the faithful to make it a prayer that the love that is in Jesus’ heart, His love that He wants to offer to us, would be accepted by us.
“That is my prayer for me and all of us. That love, that life, that inspiration, that grace, the glory that is in the heart of Jesus may flow into our hearts,” said Archbishop Palma.
By virtue of its being an Archdiocesan Shrine, all who actively participated in today’s liturgy, after fulfilling the usual requirements of Confession, Holy Communion, and praying for the Pope’s Intentions, will receive a Plenary Indulgence.
