The Month of June
By Catholic tradition, the whole of June is consecrated to the Sacred Heart.
Why this practice
Just as May belongs to the Blessed Virgin, June belongs to the Sacred Heart. The feast falls in this month, and the Church has long given the entire month over to its devotion: home altars, daily Litanies, special parish observances.
It is a practice well-suited to families. A small home altar with the image of the Sacred Heart, flowers, a candle — and a brief gathering each evening to pray the Litany or a decade of the rosary — sanctifies the month and forms the children's memory.
How to begin
The month of the Sacred Heart is given to us each year as a retreat in the world: thirty days of returning to His love.

A prayer for this practice
Sacred Heart of Jesus, may this month belong wholly to Thee. Let each of its days be a step closer to Thy love, that I may arrive at Thy feast having lived in Thy presence.
Amen.
