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.

Our Lady told the visionaries that her Immaculate Heart would be their refuge and lead them to God. With all that is going on in our world today, we need to find such a safe place. Mary was never touched by sin, and can inspire us to always fulfill the will of God.

When Our Lady appeared to Auguste Arnaud in St. Bauzille de la Sylve, she had a very specific message that can be heeded by all of us.Father Joe Roesch, MIC, shares this message with us inside the Shrine of Our Lady of Sunday, located in the southeast of France.
