Marriage and a Croatian Tradition

Several years ago, I read about a Croatian wedding tradition.

It moved me and gave me a deeper understanding of marriage, the Sacrament of Matrimony.

I’d like to share an article that describes this tradition and its fruit.

In previous posts I linked to a new website called Countdown to the Kingdom.

The site contains public and private revelation to help prepare us.

My paternal grandfather was a World War II Veteran.

At his funeral, two members of the United States Army folded the American Flag at the grave site. It was a moving and memorable ceremony.

In a previous post I quoted Fr. Michel Rodrigue:

“Your first refuge is also the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary…”

After reading the quote, I began contemplating its meaning.

In a previous post I presented the Sacred Heart devotion and included a link to the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

A reader contacted me about the litany, so I decided to share it for June.

Today, June 22nd the Catholic Church honors two saints: Thomas More and John Fisher.

These friends lived in England in the late 15th and early 16th century.

One was a well-known layman and politician, the other a well-known priest and bishop.

The month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Of all Catholic devotions, this one continues to be the most popular and widespread.

In this post I’ll give a brief history and explanation of the devotion.
