Father Theodore Metcalf
-
Every month I write a short story about a Catholic hymn the author and composer. For the month of June I feature the hymn written and composed by Father Theodore Metcalf, O Sacred Heart! O Love Divine! I thought some of you might enjoy reading about this beautiful Catholic hymn.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful story, Don, about a great American Catholic composer, Father Theodore Metcalf. I, too, would love to hear O Sacred Heart! O Love Divine! in this month of June, the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart...maybe I will. It's really a beautiful hymn, and I appreciated the opportunity to ponder upon your reflections to the words of this inspiring hymn.Thanked by 1Don9of11
