Priests of the Sacred Heart
The Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart is a religious community committed to continuing Christ's work of rebuilding our world into God's kingdom of justice and love.
We are pastors in urban and rural parishes. We are involved in teaching, counseling, chaplaincies, and social justice concerns. We are engaged in seminary education and religious formation. In all that we do and to all whom we serve, we strive to bring the love of the Heart of Jesus.
Father Paul's Message
Dear Friend of the Sacred Heart,
One of the greatest mysteries of our faith is the Incarnation – our loving, all-powerful God has chosen to become one of us. Pope Benedict has said that this is “the Truth that sets us free and the Love that transforms our lives.”
In this mystery, we see God’s love in a very concrete way. Almighty God becomes a helpless Infant. He who is Love, “the Redeemer, becomes one of us, our companion along the precarious paths of history.”
As I gaze at paintings of the Infant Jesus, lying in a manger, with His hands stretched out to us, I see “a hand which seeks to take nothing from us, but only to give.”
During this beautiful season, let us reflect on God’s love which we see reflected in this new born Child. Let us listen to our Holy Father who encouraged us to:
enter the stable of Bethlehem
On behalf of the Priests of the Sacred Heart, I want to thank you for your friendship and your prayerful generosity. You enable us to witness to God’s love and to preach this message throughout the world.
I assure you that you and your intentions will be remembered in our daily Masses and prayers, especially during this Christmas season.
May the Christ Child bless you with His loving grace and fill you and your loved ones with His peace and joy today and throughout the New Year.
Gratefully in the Sacred Heart
Father Paul, SCJ
