Bill > SCR119

This concurrent resolution recognizes June 2025 as "Sacred Heart of Jesus Month" in Delaware, highlighting the religious and cultural significance of this observance within the Catholic tradition. The resolution provides historical context for the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, tracing its origins to the 17th-century visions of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque and the scriptural references to Christ's sacrificial love. It explains that the devotion centers on the symbolic representation of Jesus' heart as a powerful emblem of divine compassion, typically depicted as a heart aflame, wounded, and surrounded by a crown of thorns. The resolution notes key religious milestones, including Pentecost on June 8, 2025, and the Feast of the Sacred Heart on June 27, 2025, which falls on the Friday following the second Sunday after Pentecost. By formally acknowledging this month, the Delaware legislature demonstrates respect for the religious traditions and spiritual significance of this Catholic observance, recognizing the deep meaning it holds for many believers.
