Dear Friend of the Sacred Heart,

On behalf of the Priests of the Sacred Heart, I thank you for your kind friendship. Your prayers and faithful generosity allow our priests and brothers to share the message of Christ’s love and peace and care for people in need throughout the world.

“… give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

Notice the words “all circumstances.” This can be hard to comprehend when the world tempts us to see only our pain or struggles. How can we possibly give thanks?

Because, despite what worldly circumstances try to extinguish, light remains. There is still joy. There is still kindness. I know this to be true, because of you. You chose kindness when you supported our mission. You looked beyond worldly circumstances.

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus embrace you with His abiding peace, today and always!

Gratefully in Christ,
