Celebrations in honor of the Sacred Heart, the program of the week of celebration in Rosolini
The week of the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Rosolini opens today.
“The annual anniversary – writes Don Adriano Minardo in the program – which marks the important appointment of faith to contemplate and honor, with sincere and deep devotion, the divine mercy that flows from his pierced side. We wish to live these days of celebration by assuming the commitment of a more convinced willingness to let the sentiments that were in the heart of Christ dwell in us and thus bear witness, in our daily lives, to the great love of God who never disappoints and never abandons”.
