An Unfathomable Gift

October 16, 2022By

19th Sunday After Pentecost 2022
We should look to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque as a model for our growth in the spiritual life.  Many times she experienced the pull of the world drawing her away from her exalted calling.  It was only by responding to God’s grace that she ultimately fulfilled His true designs for her.  We are taught about Sanctifying Grace in both the Epistle and Gospel for today’s Mass.  We are instructed to “put on the new man” and told of the necessity of the “wedding garment” to share in the happiness of the King.  We should be willing to lose our life a hundred times rather than lose the unfathomable gift of grace.

Signs Of Demonic Temptation

October 17, 2021By

21st Sunday After Pentecost 2021
Tomorrow is the feast of St. Luke the Evangelist and today is the feast of St. Margaret Mary the Apostle of the Sacred Heart.  The Epistle for this Mass was written by St. Paul during his imprisonment and the armor of his jailers was a reminder to him of the defensive and offensive weapons that we have in our spiritual combat, not with natural forces but, with preternatural forces on high.  Lucifer is the leader of these proud fallen demons who are the cause of most of our temptations.  Sudden, disturbing, prideful, lying and divisive characteristics mark these attacks from the devil.  The Gospel warns us to be merciful because we have received mercy.  The Divine Maternity has an important attribute that honors Our Lady’s virginity before, during and after Christ’s birth.  The Holy Rosary is our great means of sanctification.

Revel In Divine Love

June 11, 2021By

Feast Of The Sacred Heart of Jesus 2021
The beautiful Epistle for this Mass gives an insight into the love of God found in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The supernatural knowledge coming to us through this Heart changes our lives and makes us feel the ardor of divine charity.  Our Lord revealed many of His secrets to St. Margaret Mary and his messages through her are meant to assure us of His tender loving care in the face of the coldness of the world around us.  He told her that this revelation was the very last gift of His to a fallen world.  Despite the wounds received, even from consecrated souls, Christ promises that His love will triumph.

Redamare

June 28, 2019By

Feast Of The Sacred Heart 2019
Our Lord’s words to St. Margaret Mary about His Sacred Heart are moving and for Catholics they necessitate a heartfelt response to love in return (redamare) for this all consuming source of divine affection for us, His lowly creatures.  Practical means of achieving this are the wearing of the Sacred Heart badge and the frequent reception of the Holy Eucharist wherein our hearts are joined with His.  Union is the essence of the Blessed Sacrament and the goal of this devotion.

Plunge Into The Sacred Heart

June 18, 2017By

Feast Of The Sacred Heart 2017

Our Lord requested through St. Margaret Mary that this feast of the Sacred Heart be celebrated after the octave of Corpus Christi to make amends for irreverences to the Blessed Sacrament.  Christ further explained how He was offering His Heart as the proof of His great love to the world which was becoming cold, indifferent, uncaring, unfeeling and contemptuous toward God and His gifts.  We can repair for our failings with true devotion.

Love Him In Return

June 12, 2015By

Feast of the Sacred Heart 2015
“To have Christ dwelling through faith in your heart” refers to the abiding presence of the Divine Person of Christ in our souls while in the state of grace.  When St. Paul speaks of knowing God’s love, he does not simply refer to an intellectual knowledge, but rather a direct, immediate experience of the love of God, just as the great saints experienced.  This feast of the Sacred Heart was requested directly by Our Lord, and no man is free to ignore this devotion.  The original sketch of the Sacred Heart shows a great wound inside of which is written the word “caritas” – “love”.  This devotion was reserved for a time when the world had grown cold in its love that it might gain favor through the revelation of Our Lord’s Sacred Heart.
