The Sacred Heart of Jesus: Fountain of All Grace | Novena to St. John Bosco – Day 9 | Fr. Pat, SDB

On this final day of the Novena in preparation for the Feast of St. John Bosco, Fr. Pat, SDB reflects on Don Bosco’s concluding thought: “The Sacred Heart of Jesus is the fountain of all graces and blessings.” Through a powerful historical reflection, Fr. Pat recounts how Don Bosco was entrusted by Pope Leo XIII with the immense task of building the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Rome—a project that required total trust in God and ultimately cost Don Bosco his strength and health. From this mission, Don Bosco emphasized three essential lessons rooted in devotion to the Sacred Heart: 1️⃣ Contemplation – The Sacred Heart is a mystery to be adored, especially in the Holy Eucharist, calling us to prayer and reparation. 2️⃣ Formation – Devotion to the Sacred Heart forms virtues such as humility, meekness, and poverty, which are needed for true social renewal. 3️⃣ Transformation – The real building is not only a basilica of stone, but the formation of the Christian heart: to be a good Christian and an honest citizen. Fr. Pat invites us to reflect honestly: Do we truly love and adore the Sacred Heart of Jesus, present in the Eucharist? Do we allow that love to shape how we live and how we serve the world around us? As the novena concludes, we entrust ourselves to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, asking for hearts formed in prayer, charity, and responsibility. 📍 National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians 🕛 Feast of St. John Bosco — January 31 | 12:00 PM Mass 🙏 St. John Bosco, pray for us.
