On June 16, 1675 Jesus appeared to Sister Margaret Mary Alacoque (now a saint) and asked for the creation of a new feast.
He requested for the Feast of the Sacred Heart to be celebrated on the Friday after the Feast of Corpus Christi, nineteen days after Pentecost.
My previous post was about Spiritual Warfare.
I didn’t provide quotes because I didn’t want to overload the post with too much information.
Like it or not, you are at war.
No matter who you are — whether or not you know it — you have a mortal enemy [the devil] that wants to destroy you, not just in this life, but in the next.
No matter where you live on this planet — whether or not you can see it — you live on a hotly contested battlefield, and you can’t escape the conflict.
It’s a spiritual war with crucial consequences in your everyday life. And the outcome of that war will determine your eternal destiny (Manual for Spiritual Warfare).
This Sunday, June 9th the Church celebrates Pentecost.
Today, May 31st the Church celebrates the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
“O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.”
Since May is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, my posts this month will continue to honor her.
From May to October 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd children in Fátima, Portugal.
“Christians should follow the example of the most holy Virgin Mary because Jesus Himself gave her to us as our Mother. He has pointed to her as the model we should follow. It is, in fact, a natural thing that children should have hearts like their mothers and should reflect their mothers’ goodness and virtues.” ~ St. Paul VI
The month of May is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Roman Catholic Church.
As we approach Mother’s Day, I want to share a beautiful prayer that honors our Blessed Mother.
