On Thursday, October 24, Pope Francis published his fourth encyclical, which renews the tradition and relevance of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The text concludes with this prayer from Pope Francis:

“I ask our Lord Jesus Christ to grant that His Sacred Heart may continue to pour forth the streams of living water that can heal the hurt we have caused, strengthen our ability to love and serve others, and inspire us to journey together towards a just, solidary and fraternal world."  - Pope Francis, Dilexit Nos
