By Father Roger Landry, EWTN News - The Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is always a jubilant occasion, but this year, there are two reasons to celebrate it with greater attention, prayer, joy and resolve... The first is because we are now six months into the 18-month 350th anniversary of Jesus’ apparitions in Paray-le-Monial, France, to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, which began on Dec. 27, 1673, and continued through June 16, 1675: Jesus poured out the depths of his Sacred Heart to her and, through her, to the world.
