sacred heart of jesus

You may have heard of First Fridays, but where did this concept come from? In a private revelation, Jesus asked St. Margaret Mary Alacoque to spread the practice of honoring his Sacred Heart through a First Fridays devotion.

On this journey, we’ll talk with author and ‘media nun’ Sr. Anne Flanagan, FSP, about:

• What’s so powerful (and popular) about devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus?
• What is the First Fridays devotion?
• How can the average person benefit from this practice?
• And much more!

June is the month of the Sacred Heart, and Father Dave welcomes back Executive Director of the Sacred Heart Enthronement Network, speaker and author Emily Jaminet. Her latest book is called, “Holy Habits from the Sacred Heart: Ten Ways to Build Stronger, More Loving Relationships.”

Jesus describes his sacred and merciful heart as meek and humble.   More than anger and disappointment at our sins, Jesus feels compassion for us in our waywardness.  In the Sacred Heart of Jesus we especially see the goodness of God towards sinners.  This makes God approachable in Jesus and keeps us from the mistake of trying to be good without him.

This blogcast explores “The Sacred Heart of Jesus: Image of God's Infinite Love," written by Braden Lynch and read by Brian Rhude.

“The Sacred Heart of Jesus: Image of God’s Infinite Love,” by Braden Lynch and read by Brian Rhude. In his blog, Braden reflects on how the image of the Sacred Heart is a perfect reflection of how God loves us infinitely. St. Margaret Mary Alacoque is the patron Saint of devotees to the Sacred Heart. The Church celebrates devotion to the Sacred Heart in the month of June. The Sacred Heart is depicted as a flaming heart shining with divine light, pierced by the lance-wound, encircled by the crown of thorns, surmounted by a cross, and bleeding.

As Carol Berry of Celebrating the Saints sat in the silence of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, she felt drawn to an image of a woman she affectionately named "My Girl." 

Soon before being initiated into the Catholic Church, Carol learned "Her Girl" was Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Carol discovered a peace that could only be of God as she faced what seemed to be an insurmountable trial: two children suffering from addiction. Tragically, she lost her daughter to addiction last year and experienced God's profound mercy. 

Carol created Restoring Women’s Outreach, a 12-step based residential sober living program for women who are in search of recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. 

Carol works at St. Bernard’s Abbey in Cullman, Alabama and loves being on “monk time.”
