"To pray is to believe in and worship God and to acknowledge that our existence has a supernatural goal. We have not only a bodily but also a spiritual life; we put God first, others before ourselves, and ourselves before worldly things, before all that is transitory, and that is not as valuable as our immortal souls.”
- Elisabeth Leseur
Cor Jesu takes place on the First Friday of each month because it is a day dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Devotion to the Sacred Heart as we know it today started around 1693, in France, when Our Lord appeared to a Visitation nun, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. In those apparitions, Jesus asked that the first Friday of every month be dedicated to His Sacred Heart, and that the faithful make acts of reparation for sins against His Sacred Heart, and made 12 promises to those who practice and promote this devotion.
It is especially fitting celebrating this event here, at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. During the period of adoration, we will pray the Litany of the Sacred Heart.
