173 Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Thursday Oct 03, 2024
Thursday Oct 03, 2024
We are celebrating the 350th anniversary of the apparitions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Pope Francis dedicate a three-year jubilee to this devotion, from December 2023 to June 2025. This is why in this episode I speak about the Apparitions of the Sacred Heart to St. Margaret Mary, and how to practice this great devotion.
- I encourage you to read this book: “The Devotion to the Sacred Heart”, by Fr. Croiset, S.J.
- Here is the Link to the encyclical Haurietis Aquas, by Pope Pius XII: https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius12/p12hauri.htm
- This is the ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE SACRED HEART, by St. Claude de la Colombière:
“My adorable Redeemer, I give and consecrate myself totally to Thy Sacred Heart in the fullest and most complete way of which I am capable. Nail me to Thy Cross by my Baptismal Promises, by the duties of my state of life and by my resolution to serve Thee always. I renew all these before heaven and earth in Thy Sacred Heart. Thy holy service is for me an easy yoke and its bonds do not burden me. Moreover, I would desire to fasten even more closely its tight knots. Therefore, I embrace the beloved cross of my vocation even unto death. It shall be all my delight, my pleasure, my glory. God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. Thy poverty shall be my treasure; Thy sufferings my delight; Thy Person, my only love. I will never abandon Thee, my Savior; I will unite myself intimately with Thee. I do not fear the narrow path of holiness, because Thou art my light and my strength. I hope, therefore, O my Lord, that Thou will make me firm to resist all temptations and that Thou will make me victorious over all the enemies of my soul. Continue to stretch out Thy hand over me, and to bestow Thy favors upon me. By Thy Blood, by Thy Wounds and by Thy Sacred Heart, I implore Thee, O adorable Jesus, by this act of consecration grant that I may become a new creation of Thy love. Amen.”

Friday Sep 13, 2024
Friday Sep 13, 2024
St. Monica prayed with perseverance and hope for the conversion of her son—who eventually became not only baptized Catholic, but also a priest, a bishop and a saint, now known as St. Augustine. Hope in God, love for God, adoration, worship and fidelity are all attitudes included in the First Commandment. In this episode I look at some of the sins against the First Commandment like presumption, despair, indifference, lukewarmness, occultism and hatred of God among others.
