Fr. Mark Baron reflects on the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a mystery that the Church invites us to contemplate as a window into God’s infinite love. The Sacred Heart is not merely a symbolic image but the very real human heart of Christ, which beats with divine love for every soul. In His Incarnation, Jesus took on a true human heart, and in doing so He reveals that God is not distant, but near — a God who suffers with us, who loves us personally, and who offers His very self for our salvation.

Beauty is a good thing. After all, we are created in the image and likeness of God, Who is beauty itself. But vanity is an excessive love of one's own excellence or appearance, and considered a form of pride, which is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Father Jason Lewis, MIC, explains.
