The Diocese of Cartagena renews its consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Bishop José Manuel Lorca Planes renewed the consecration of the Diocese of Cartagena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus during a Mass held at an esplanade in Monteagudo. The ceremony marked the centenary of the original consecration. The bishop was accompanied by priests during the celebration, which took place before a monument to the Sacred Heart.

During his homily, Bishop Lorca Planes noted that Jesuits helped spread devotion to the Sacred Heart throughout the diocese. He observed that images of the Sacred Heart remain present in many towns and homes. The parish priest of Monteagudo, Carlos Casero, noted that the ceremony served as a continuation of the devotion established one hundred years ago.
