Fr. Joseph Michael McShane gives the homily on Jun 01, 2026, calling the faithful to reject hardness of heart, to seek divine truth following the example of St. Justin the Martyr, and to consecrate their lives to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as the month of June begins.

In this homily, Father McShane encourages us to keep our hearts open to God's love and guidance rather than letting them become hardened. He explains Jesus' parable about the vineyard, showing how the religious leaders of the time rejected God's prophets and His Son, and how this led to the foundation of the Church, with Jesus as its cornerstone. Father McShane then shares the inspiring story of Saint Justin the Martyr, a philosopher who found the ultimate truth in Christianity through divine revelation and courageously died for his faith. Finally, as June begins, we are reminded to dedicate this month to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, keeping our own hearts closely united to His.
