Blessed Feast of the Sacred Heart.
A blessed Feast of the Sacred Heart to all. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
From Jesus to St. Faustina: “From all My wounds, like from streams, mercy flows for souls, but the wound in My Heart is the fountain of unfathomable mercy. From this fountain spring all graces for souls. I desire greatly to pour them out upon souls. Speak to the whole world about My mercy.”
– from “Divine Mercy In My Soul: The Diary of Sister M. Faustina Kowalska” (1190)

Is It Time to Hunker Down?
I’m considering what to pack…anyone want to join me?
As Ireland votes overwhelmingly for same sex marriage and the rest of the Western world,
it seems, can’t wait to follow their example, is it time to throw in the towel in the cultural slugfest?
As radical Islam advances giving us nightmares and as the economic “recovery” looks increasingly shaky is it time to hunker down?
Over at The Week Damon Linker analyzes what Rod Dreher calls “The Benedict Option”.
This is the idea that the church will follow the pattern of St Benedict. To understand what this means we have to understand the social conditions in Benedict’s day.
It was the end of the fifth century. The once mighty Roman Empire was collapsing. Economic decline was forcing a retreat of the Roman armies across the empire. Famine and plague decimated the population. Moral decay ate away at the family and robbed the population of…

Daily Reflections of Saint Padre Pio: On Mary and the Rosary
Fascinating snippets include details of the relationship Padre Pio had with Our Lady . In particular I love the different names he attributed to our Heavenly Mother. A sure sign of intimacy. Here is a taster:- ‘Maria, Madonna, Mamma, Mammina, Madre, Madonnina, Madonnella, Signora…’. Hope this has whet your appetite.
Saint Padre Pio On Mary:
