In honor of the Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola on July 31, we're taking a green look at his Spiritual Exercises. When today's host, Eric Clayton, was in college, he stumbled upon a book entitled “The Eucharist and Social Justice.” It's a small volume and was easily tucked into his bag when he went to Nicaragua on a service immersion trip. He remembers paging through that book with an excitement that rarely appeared when reading other theology texts. But something about this one, this invitation to consider how the source and summit of our Catholic faith was in fact a radical call to justice — that was formative. It's what he was looking for as an undergraduate who was very much searching for answers when it came to faith and God and the church. The author of that little book is Sr. Margaret Scott. She's a Handmaid of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and a renowned spiritual director and retreat giver. She's fluent in numerous languages, which has led her into ministries that have taken her around the world. She has a lived experience of the universal church and the needs and joys of God's people in many, many places. She has brought those insights into the classroom; she taught theology at Philly's own Jesuit university, St. Joe's. But most importantly for today, she's brought that same global perspective, that tender pastoral care, to a new book all about Ignatian spirituality and ecological conversion. It's called “Ignatius Was Green: Ecological Dimensions of the Spiritual Exercises” and it's available now from Paulist Press. Like “The Eucharist and Social Justice,” this is a small, approachable volume. And for those of us engaged in the ministry of the Exercises, it's quite helpful. Sr. Margaret invites us to deepen our own encounter with Christ through the Exercises by paying careful attention to those places in Ignatius' text that invite deeper ecological reflection.

Delivered by Stella Wijaya and Svara Nirmala from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Exodus 34: 29-35; Rs psalm 99: 5.6.7.9; Matthew 13: 44-46.CIRCLE OF LIGHT  The title for our meditation today is:Circle of Light. Starting from Jesus, then the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, theapostles, and all saints, seeing at their images, there are always halos intheir heads. Sometimes rather than referring to the word “holy”, “immaculate”or “perfect”, people simply demonstrate a symbol of a circular gesture abovetheir heads to reveal the purpose. The circle of light above the headmeans the person concerned is holy or sacred. Why do these halos reserved onlyfor the saints? Because the fullness of God's grace is upon them. Because theyfulfill all the conditions to be in the fullness of grace as Jesus says alwaysthat one should become perfect like the Father is ever perfect. There is a haloabove the head of the saint, because he is intended to be the model ofperfection for others. In today's first reading, Moses isdescribed as having a halo and his face is shining brightly as he descends fromthe mountain where he met God. Every time He met and spoke with God, it wasseen by the people around him, the light came out from Moses' head and face.The question: is Moses' experience of holiness our experience too, because wealso always encounter God? We need to remember, that theplacement of halos on saints' heads that describes holiness, is somethinginfluenced by the culture of Christian faith in history of the Church. But theexperience of meeting God happens to anyone and at any time. This experiencedoes not depend on the presence or absence of halos. Every time we can meet Godfor example through personal prayer, celebration of sacraments, serving othersor being served and loved by our neighbors. We are more special, and Moses doesnot have it, because we are always under the guidance of the Holy Spirit tomeet and speak with the Lord. The Holy Spirit allows us to have ahalo not just above our heads to be seen by people, or the appearance of ashiny and bright face. Jesus Christ is always with us with His teaching so thatwe choose God's Kingdom as our only choice. It is God Himself, and by havingthat Kingdom of God we are even more radiant and shiny, because we are filledwith the light of God the almighty. Today, you will certainly be a brightperson, if from morning to night you truly become another Christ for ohersaround you. Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O Lord our God, bless us especially today, so that we can bringforth Your glory through our words and deeds by imitating Your Son our LordJesus, for all times. Hail Mary full of grace ... In the name of the Father ...

Homily for the 17th Sunday of Ordinary Time (July 27, 2025) Total Time: 13m24s (Recorded at the 5:30PM Mass at Sacred Heart parish in Enumclaw, WA)

Delivered by Chendani Budhi, Maria Delie, Josephine Mercy Ho, and Erica Tanzil from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Genesis 18: 20-33; Rs psalm 138: 1-2a.2bc-3.6-7ab.7c-8; Colossians 2: 12-14; Luke 11: 1-13.GOOD REQUEST The theme for our meditation on this17th Sunday in ordinary time is entitled: Good Request. Last Sunday,our meditation highlighted on our good acceptance for what is given. There wasa teenager after hearing the sermon of the Pastor wrote to his parish Priests aWhatsapp message in this way: "Father, for the sake of fairness, before wecan accept  with good manner, we shouldfirst ask with the same manner, right?" The comment and reflection of that boycan be an inspiration for our meditation today. We accept something or somebodywith or without request. When it is without request, what we receive is a freegift or reward. Whereas if we accept with request, it means we are expected toask well for it. In our readings today, we are enlightened to ask God in goodand proper manner. There are at least three things here about our good request. First, concerning urgency or promptingneeds, we ask God with strong faith and we can make calculations with Him. Eachof our urgent need is certainly related to the matters of life or death.Abraham did that with God as told in our first reading today. For the sake ofthe salvation of soul, when faced with the threat of deadly sin, we can ask alot and with complain like Abraham, to insist God to help and to save us. Second, we ask God based on theprinciple that we are always dependent on God's providence. This is very much concerningour lives as mortals and our humble situation of life. Indeed, we have manyneeds to be attended, but we should behave like children towards the Father,namely we surrender our lives while asking for the outpouring of His blessingsupon us. The answers will be given according to His will; its quantity many or few,its time right or not, we depend all to the Father. He has the power to makethings happen. The prayer of "Our Father" that we always say is theway we ask and surrender to the Father's will to happen. There is no urgencyhere. Third, in the matter of the quality ofour lives as believers, we should ask for something that is new, better,relevant, and future. We want to leave the old, the useless, and the bad ones.We also try not to request to have a lot, to be rich, to become full of thethings of the world, and to be attached to this world. So the good news for ustoday reminds us to ask God in good manners, namely the urgency of oursalvation, our submission to His will, and the importance of the quality oflife. Let's pray. In name of theFather ... Almighty and generous Father, may we always hope and dependourselves on your provicence and care. Glory to the Father and to the Son andto the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Kezia Nikita from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Exodus 19: 1-2.9-11.16-20b; Rs psalm Dan 3: 52.53.54.56; Matthew 13: 10-17.WAY TO UNDERSTAND HIM Our meditation todayis entitled: Way To Understand Him. There were three girls who fell in lovewith a young man who was of their age. Each girl always tried to win the heartof the young man with her best way of appearance. Sometimes they competed unfairlyin the manner that one tended to highlight the weaknesses of her other friends.Sometimes they competed in a healthy and positive way in order to show the realpersonality of each. The young man alsohad his own way to a appear nicely to each girl who was so fond of him. As timewent on, each of them became bored and tired. The three girls were confusedabout who really deserved to be the best and chosen, because it was not possiblefor all three of them to be chosen. The three of them agreed to discuss aboutthis. They finally concluded that the young man would definitely have his ownway to understand them and to choose only one whom he loved. This illustrationshows how love is expressed. A self-expression certainly has a peculiar qualityto make other people have their impressions on it. A good impression wouldnormally develop the feeling of attraction. A guitarist appears so talented,then those who have passion for music would be attracted to him. A person'sself-expression aims to make other people understand about him and theynormally support him. If this is a kind ofhuman attrativeness that deserves appreciation by all of us, it should be allthe more the attractiveness of God's love that always move our hearts to be inlove with Him and to love our fellow brothers and sisters as well. The Lord firstrevealed Himself to us humans. The quality and power of the expressions of Hislove are beyond the one of ours, simply because God incarnates in us. Throughincarnation He purifies, empowers and perfects our lives in the world. Hereveals Himself in order to sanctify the world and all of us. To the Israelites,God had revealed Himself as the Lord who was so kind and merciful to them fortheir obedience and faithfulness. But He also became the Lord who had punishedthis people because of their ungratefulness and sinfulness. Jesus also made Hislisteners to understand Him through His various ways of preaching or teaching.He uses parables, so that His listeners understand that He is so concernedabout those who are humble, suffering, alienated and persecuted. He also opensthe mind of those who are great, powerful, rich, proud, and smart but they arenot willing to accept and understand Him. So we have a duty tobe always ready to understand the Lord who reveals Himself through His wordsand deeds that help our faith grow. But we also have the same important task tomake our neighbors understand us for the witnesses of our faith. This is alsothe way we serve others. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord Jesus Christ, help us to always have good understanding about Youand our neighbors. Our Father who artin heaven ... In the name of the Father ...

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 394The Saint of the day is Saint Mary MacKillopSaint Mary MacKillop’s Story If Saint Mary MacKillop were alive today, she would be a household name. It's not that she sought the limelight. On the contrary, she simply wanted to serve the poor wherever she found them in her native Australia. But along the way, she managed to arouse the ire of some rather powerful churchmen. One even excommunicated her for a time. Born in Melbourne in 1842, to parents who had emigrated from Scotland, Mary grew up in a family that faced constant financial struggles. As a young woman she was drawn to religious life but could not find an existing order of Sisters that met her needs. In 1860, she met Father Julian Woods, who became her spiritual director. Together they founded a new community of women—the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart, also known as the Josephite Sisters. Its members were to staff schools especially for poor children, as well as orphanages, and do other works of charity. As the congregation grew, so did Mary MacKillop's problems. Her priest-friend proved unreliable in many ways and his responsibilities for direction of the Sisters were removed. Meanwhile, Mary had the support of some local bishops as she and her Sisters went about their work. But the bishop in South Australia, aging and relying on others for advice, briefly excommunicated Mary—charging her with disobedience—and dispensed 50 of her Sisters from their vows. In truth, the bishop's quarrel was about power and who had authority over whom. He ultimately rescinded his order of excommunication. Mary insisted that her congregation should be governed by an elected mother general answerable to Rome, not to the local bishop. There also were disputes about whether or not the congregation could own property. In the end, Rome proved to be Mary's best source of support. After a long wait official approval of the congregation—and how it was to be governed—came from Pope Leo XIII. Despite her struggles with Church authorities, Mary MacKillop and her Sisters were able to offer social services that few, if any, government agencies in Australia could. They served Protestants and Catholics alike. They worked among the aborigines. They taught in schools and orphanages and served unmarried mothers. Money, actually the lack of it, was a constant worry. But the Sisters who begged from door to door, were bolstered by faith and by the conviction that their struggles were opportunities to grow closer to God. By the time Mary was approaching the end of her life, the congregation was thriving. She died in 1909 at the age of 67. Pope John Paul II beatified her in 1995. In 2010, when Pope Benedict XVI canonized her, she became Australia's first saint. Her liturgical feast is celebrated on August 8. Reflection The story of many foundresses of religious communities and the tales of the early days of those communities can make for fascinating reading. Those women were dedicated and tough and fought for those they served. Let's thank the Lord for raising up such wonderful examples of faith. Click here for more on Saint Mary MacKillop!

16th Sunday in ordinary time, year C, 20th July 2025, sermon by Fr Dylan James at Sacred Heart, Paignton

We're live with Benjamin O'Brien, author, The Proving Grounds: A Catholic on Ladder 17, Josie Duke, Teacher at St. George School in Baton Rouge talks about the Holy Face and Emily Jaminet, Catholic author of the book, Saints of the Sacred Heart.

In this enlightening summer episode we intertwine the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Brideshead Revisited, rock climbing and more.

When Jesus was asked to name the greatest commandment, He answered with profound simplicity and eternal power: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind... and the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37–39). In this divine teaching, Jesus gave us not only the foundation of the Christian life but also the key to drawing others into the beauty and truth of the Catholic Church.To love God with our whole heart means more than words or feelings; it is a radical surrender to His will. It is a life lived in holiness, prayer, and trust. This kind of love is radiant. When others see someone who is fully alive in God's love—joyful in suffering, peaceful in chaos, humble in victory—they see something supernatural. They see Christ.But Jesus did not stop there. He tied the love of God inseparably to love of neighbor. Why? Because true love of God overflows—it must be given away. And when we love others as ourselves, especially those who are wounded, lost, or searching, we become living signs of God's mercy.This is the heart of evangelization. People do not come to the Church simply because of arguments or traditions. They come because they encounter Love—real, sacrificial, healing love. And that love has a name: Jesus Christ. Through us, His Church becomes a home for the lonely, a refuge for the sinner, and a light for those in darkness.So let us love boldly. Let our worship be fervent and our service generous. Let our lives reflect the Sacred Heart of Jesus—a heart burning with love for the Father and for every soul He came to redeem. In this way, we do not merely invite people to join a religion; we lead them to encounter the living God, present in the Eucharist, alive in His Church, and waiting with open arms.Love God. Love your neighbor. And through that love, let us draw the world home to the Catholic faith. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

Crystalina Evert discusses the Sacred Heart Of Jesus with Daniel Campbell. There's a different life that you can't get from the world that only comes from the love of God. Daniel shows us how to enter into this love through the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Precious Blood

The whole crew gathers for Fr. Mike's last episode as he leads us on one more adventure discussing his new idea for a devotion to the Sacred Heart.

When we are at our most alone, hurting, and vulnerable, Christ is there. Plus: a Q and A on the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Brooke Taylor sits in for Timmere on Trending, and she is joined by Brother Richard Hendrick, a Capuchin Franciscan and retreat master here to help draw you closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Sacred Heart So, what’s the big deal about the Sacred Heart? According to Brother Richard: “The Sacred Heart is the icon of the entire Gospel.” That’s... a big deal. He explains that when Jesus says He is “meek and humble of heart,” He’s not talking about being passive or a pushover. In Greek, that word “meek” (praus) means a heart fully surrendered to the Father’s will. It’s not soft; it’s powerful. He invites you; yes, even with your messy, distracted, sometimes-scrolling-during-prayer self, to graft your heart into His. “To let His heart be the heart of our heart.” Ireland Just Got Re-Consecrated to the Sacred Heart Brooke also mentions some stunning recent news: Ireland was just reconsecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus at the Marian shrine of Knock on the Feast of Corpus Christi! The last time this happened was 150 years ago! What the Saints Teach Us About the Sacred Heart St. Thérèse of Lisieux called the Sacred Heart her hiding place. She wrote that she didn’t need purgatory after death, because she was letting His love be her purgatory now. St. Padre Pio prayed a daily novena to the Sacred Heart for anyone who asked his prayers. St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, the Sacred Heart visionary, gave us the image we all know: Jesus revealing His pierced, flaming heart, crowned with thorns and glowing with love. Brother reminds us that these saints weren’t just inspired by the Sacred Heart... they entered it. Enter In; Don't Just Look This is one of the most beautiful takeaways: we’re not just meant to look at or venerate the Sacred Heart; we’re meant to enter into it. Think of it like a divine invitation to spiritual open-heart surgery. Brother Richard quotes St. Anthony of Padua, who said we shouldn’t just stay by the “entrance” of Jesus’ pierced side; we need to go all the way in. That’s where we find: light, peace, and Heaven on Earth. Sacred Heart + Divine Mercy Ever notice the connection between the Sacred Heart and Divine Mercy? Brother Richard ties it all together: The Sacred Heart is Jesus offering His heart. -Divine Mercy is drawing us in, through those rays of grace. -Both devotions are all about growing in trust. So, whether you pray “Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee” or “Jesus, I trust in You”, you’re tapping into the same ocean of mercy. He reminds us: "You exist, so you are already loved." No performance needed. No filters. No spiritual résumé. Here’s the real deal, friend: The Sacred Heart is not a metaphor. It’s real. It’s alive. It’s beating for you. You’re invited in. Not tomorrow. Today. So, whether you’re feeling close to Jesus or like your heart’s been duct-taped together this week… He’s offering you His own heart in exchange. Light a candle. Put up an image of the Sacred Heart. Whisper, “Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like Yours.” And then just… be loved. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!

In this new talk on the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Sacred Heart of Jesus, Fr. Chris Alar gives updated information about this incredibly important devotion in the Church. But what does it mean and what do we have to do to receive the graces promised by Christ?

Sermon delivered on the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, the Third Sunday After Pentecost and Within the Octave of the Sacred Heart, 2025, at Queen of All Saints Chapel in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, 2025, by Rev. Tobias Bayer. Epistle: Acts 12, 1-11. Gospel: St. Matthew 16, 13-19.

Mary Pat Gallagher joins guest host Brooke Taylor to share the astonishing story of her son, Baby Brian; whose incorrupt body, discovered nearly 40 years after his passing, is offering a powerful witness to the sanctity of every life. Br. Richard Hendrick, OFM Cap., leads us on a mystical retreat into the heart of Christ. Resources: Baby Brian https://www.babybrian.org/

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.   https://comeawaybyyourselves.com

Read OnlineBut when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately blood and water flowed out. John 19:33–34John's Gospel is filled with deep spiritual imagery and symbolism. It is clear that this imagery and symbolism was divinely inspired so as to give us spiritual food for reflection and meditation. One such image is given to us today as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.As Jesus and the two criminals on either side of Him hung upon their crosses, the soldiers came to hasten their deaths by breaking their legs to cause them to more quickly suffocate. But when they came to Jesus, He had already died. So one of the soldiers, traditionally known as Longinus, thrust his spear into Jesus' side, and blood and water flowed forth. Some traditions identify Longinus with the centurion who cried out after Jesus' death, “Truly, this was the Son of God!” (See Matthew 27:54.) Other traditions state that he converted at that moment, making him the first convert to Christianity. And still other traditions state that Longinus could not see well, and the blood and water from Jesus' side poured upon his eyes, healing him. Regardless of whether these traditions are true, we know that Jesus' side was pierced and blood and water flowed forth.The symbolism of this act was more than a mere human symbol. It was an instrument of the profound spiritual reality that was taking place at that moment. As Jesus' Sacred Heart was pierced, the blood and water that poured forth was the new sacramental life of the Church. The Blood was the Most Holy Eucharist and the Water was the gift of Baptism. And when Jesus had previously “breathed His last” and “handed over His Spirit,” the Sacrament of Confirmation was bestowed.When we celebrate those Sacraments today, it is easy to see them as mere symbols of what we partake in. But in our Christian Tradition, the Sacraments are so much more. The symbol is also the reality. It is the instrument of what it symbolizes. Therefore, every time we witness a Baptism or partake in the Holy Eucharist, we are mystically present with Longinus, receiving the grace and mercy of our redemption, pouring forth from Jesus' wounded side, so as to heal us and make us whole.The human heart is, physically speaking, a bodily organ responsible for pumping blood throughout. But from a spiritual perspective, given that we are both body and soul, the human heart is also the source of our life. Without it, we physically and spiritually die. So it is with the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It was not only a physical heart that was physically pierced by the lance long ago. It is now also the source of our ongoing spiritual life, and, without Jesus' Sacred Heart of Mercy, we will die in our sins.Reflect, today, upon the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. See His Heart as the ongoing source of your new life in grace. Understand that His Heart is more than a symbol of His grace and mercy, it is the spiritual source and the font of that mercy. Prayerfully place yourself before His Cross, this day, and allow the blood and water, flowing from His wounded side, to cover you so that you, too, may believe. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, You poured out upon the world the love and mercy of Your transforming grace through the instrument of the blood and water pouring forth from Your wounded side. Help me to gaze upon this font of mercy and to be covered with it through the gift of the Sacraments. May I always be open to all that You wish to bestow upon me by these precious and transforming instruments of Your love. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

What if the key to healing your heart is understanding how Christ's was formed? In this powerful episode, Dr. Greg Bottaro explores the mystery of the Sacred Heart—not just as a symbol of divine love, but as a fully human heart formed by Mary and Joseph. Through the lens of developmental psychology and Catholic theology, he unpacks what it means for Jesus to be truly human, how we're shaped by the gaze of our parents, and why your journey to wholeness starts with letting yourself be loved. Whether you're a parent, a seeker, or someone longing for deeper integration, this conversation offers a tender, transformative vision of what it means to be fully alive.   Key Topics: The psychological and spiritual significance of the Feast of the Sacred Heart How Jesus's human heart was formed through the love of Mary and Joseph Why mirroring, idealization, and twinship are essential for healthy human development The power of the parental gaze in shaping a child's sense of worth and identity What it means to let yourself be mothered by Mary and fathered by Joseph Learn More: Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Fr.
