Did you know that each month has a traditional Catholic devotion associated with it? We can focus on each devotion month by month to grow in our faith and traditions. Make notes for yourself, write them in your calendar, and pray a specific prayer each day of the month to help you remember. You could use a prayer already associated with the devotion or pray a personal one.

The entire month of June is devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus has a cross, flames, crown of thorns, and blood. Each of these has special meaning so that we can remember His love for us. The cross points to His sacrifice, the flames are his purifying passion, the crown of thorns reminds us of His suffering and kingship, and the blood reminds us of the side wound during His death. He spilled all of His blood for us.
