Written by the USCCB, this Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus draws its daily devotions from the Litany of the Sacred Heart. Each day reflects on the wisdom of saints and pontiffs on the Sacred Heart and offers opportunities for prayer and action, framed by Pope Francis’ encyclical Dilexit Nos (He Loved Us) and Pope Leo XIV’s apostolic exhortation Dilexi Te (I Have Loved You). Tanner Kalina leads us in prayer each day, and the USCCB invites you to join the U.S. Church from June 3-11 in praying this Novena to the Sacred Heart, which will conclude with the consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Through simple, practical teaching, Brother Lawrence shows how holiness is found not in extraordinary acts, but in turning toward God throughout your daily routine. Available for the first time with video, transcripts, and reflection questions in the Ascension app, this season offers an accessible path to deeper peace, prayer, and friendship with God.
