The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
Today we celebrate the Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Traditionally, in the
Church’s Liturgical Year the month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart. The image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus reveals such a beautiful truth of Christ’s infinite love for us.
If we want to know how God loves, we need only to turn to what is revealed to us in the incarnation of Jesus Christ and His ultimate sacrifice of the cross.
When we begin to understand God’s love, we will feel encouraged to become increasingly more compassionate, generous and faithful.
This is the higher virtue that God calls us to aspire to. Holy Scripture refers to the heart as what directs the whole being, soul and body, to what it considers its good; this is the Sacred Heart of Jesus. How beautiful would society be if we realised the true beauty of the Scared Heart of Jesus? How different would our world be with no hatred that creates so much division? Only if we contemplate the heart of Jesus will we ensure that our heart is freed from animosity and indifference.
On today’s feast let us ask our Lord to give us a good heart, capable of having compassion for other people.
Ask A Priest Session
Last Thursday 3 June, we had our ‘Ask a Priest’ session. These sessions are an opportunity for our students to ask any questions that they have about their Catholic Faith. Due to remote learning, the session was via MS Teams where we were joined by Fr Simeon, the Assistant Priest at St Catherine of Siena Parish, Caroline Springs; Miss Calandra, Mr Sammut and students – Balsam Al-Jamil, Nicole Fry, Olivia Hannet, Ivanka Portelli, Isabella Rustevski and Christina Stanford.
‘Taking part in the 'Ask a Priest' session was a great opportunity because it isn't often that you get to ask questions like this to a Priest. It was a really good experience to be able to get our questions answered and learn ways we can connect and grow closer with God.’

‘The 'Ask A Priest' session last Thursday was a fruitful and refreshing experience! It was an opportunity to ask any questions that we may have about the Catholic faith in a supportive environment.’

Thanks again to Dr Chris McGillen, Katie Franzone and David Tran for organising, preparing, directing, and recording our students. It is so beautiful that our students and staff are so willing to serve and worship God.
