It’s Sacred Heart Friday time and this week I’m getting all mystical. The Alliance of the Two Hearts of Jesus and Mary began when Jesus dwelt within the womb of Mary. Like all children when they are living within their Momma’s womb, He shared the body of Mary and thus she became the tabernacle for …

The Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus begins June 7th this year so as to end on the day before the Feast day, which is June 16th this year. On the day of the Feast it is customary to consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart. The following is a popular prayer that can be …

When one begins their devotion to the Sacred Heart it follows that they are inevitably led to Adoration. He left …
Yesterday was the 100th Anniversary of Mother Angelica’s birth and so for this Sacred Heart Friday I thought I’d share this “Mother Angelica Live” classic TV episode (taken from the EWTN YouTube Channel.) Enjoy! I did! After her Scripture reading she picks up a black-covered book that she says contains writings from some saints as well …
Today is once again Sacred Heart Friday. We are also on the cusp of Divine Mercy weekend, since Divine Mercy Sunday is coming up! It is one of my favorite days on the Church’s liturgical calendar. It give me great hope for the absolute washing away of my sins, a firm purpose of amendment, and …
