Podcasts about Sacred Heart

A hardened heart isn't where the story starts. It's what's left after a child trusted, got hurt, and concluded: I'll never be in that position again. This week, Dr. Greg turns the antisocial series toward hope: looking at how that hardness forms, and how the Sacred Heart of Jesus, betrayed and pierced yet still open, breaks the pattern. Key Topics: Why a hardened heart is never cold by nature—it's protection learned the first time trusting backfired Why the urge to control everyone around you is really an old strategy for never being at anyone's mercy again How "making up for it" can quietly become a way to avoid facing the wound underneath Why Jesus didn't heal the hardened heart from a safe distance—He walked straight into betrayal and stayed open What it means that control isn't the enemy; where you aim it is what changes everything Why healing means loving even the parts of you that sin, not just the parts that behave Why you can't will yourself into trust overnight—and why that slowness reflects your dignity, not your failure Learn More: Earlier in this series on the Antisocial Defense Patterns: Antisocial Part 1 — Ep. #281: Control or Be Controlled: The Devastating Wounds Behind Antisocial Behavioral Patterns Antisocial Part 2 — Ep. #282: You're (Probably) Not a Serial Killer—But You May Share Some of Their Antisocial Traits The Litany for Mental Health Dr. Greg references: A Litany for Mental Health The original Sacred Heart revelations: The Autobiography of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque Start of the Being Human series on the Histrionic Defense Patterns: Ep. #274: To Be Loved Is to Perform: Inside the Histrionic Compulsion for Attention and Validation Start of the Being Human series on the Borderline Defense Patterns: Ep. #269: BORDERLINE: The Push-Pull Between a Fear of Abandonment and Annihilation Start of the Being Human series on the Dependent Defense Patterns: Ep. #265: Jerry Maguire, Gollum, and the Fear of Not Existing Start of the Being Human series on the Narcissistic Defense Patterns: Ep. #261: Narcissism and the Terror of Being Ordinary Need help?

Given on the Sunday within the Octave of the Sacred Heart, 2026.

G.K. Chesterton wrote in 1926 that "the heart of Christendom is a heart" and in this episode, Joe and Grettelyn discover that this single line unlocks his entire approach to apologetics. Recording just before the U.S. bishops' historic consecration of America to the Sacred Heart on the nation's 250th anniversary, they trace the providential thread connecting two Pope Leos, a 1926 essay from GK's Weekly, and Chesterton's lifelong practice of winning opponents through friendship and wonder. In This Episode: How a 1926 essay in GK's Weekly reveals the theological principle behind G.K. Chesterton's entire method of winning hearts and minds What Chesterton's contrast of Saint Michael and Saint Gabriel teaches about "the softening of strength by chivalry and charity"—and what it means for how the Church evangelizes today Why G.K. Chesterton's observation that "madmen are logical" explains his insistence on appealing to beauty, wonder, and friendship rather than syllogisms How G.K. Chesterton's famous friendships with his opponents—and the characters of The Ball on the Cross—embody the theology of the Sacred Heart before he ever named it What Pope Leo XIII's 1899 encyclical Annum Sacrum reveals about the providential timing of the USCCB's consecration and the arrival of a new Pope Leo Chapters: 00:00: Introduction—The Sacred Heart and America at 250 02:29: The Providential Coincidence of Two Pope Leos 04:00: Background on the Sacred Heart Devotion 11:50: Why Consecrate a Nation? 13:57: Pope Leo XIII's Encyclical—What He Foretold About America 19:55: Reparations and the Burning Desire of Christ 23:22: What G.K.

Fr. Bryan Kassa - "Is Your Heart United to the Sacred Heart?" 4th Sunday of The Apostles 2026 by Chaldean Diocese

God loves the human race. But just as importantly, He loves all of us individually. In this beautiful feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we focus on the immeasurable love of Our Lord. We pierce His heart through our sins. Yet never does God waver from His love for us. He does not withdraw from us. Our Lord continues to pour out our love so that we may never lose what He has planned for the human race, namely heaven.

Your heart is restless. It wants more than this world can give. It longs for a love that will not fail, a peace that will not pass away, a home that cannot be taken from you. You know this—perhaps you have always known it—even when you try to silence the longing with lesser things.In the seventeenth century, Jesus revealed to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque the answer to that longing. He showed her his Sacred Heart: aflame with love, wounded by ingratitude, yearning for souls who would console him through their devotion. What she saw was not simply a vision but an invitation. Christ was opening his heart to her—and through her, to us—saying in effect: This is what you have been seeking. This is where you belong.The Sacred Heart has become a home for many saints over the ages. In this episode, I want to share with you, briefly, three saints who fostered a devotion to the Sacred Heart. I add this to a previous episode where I shared a longer reflection on St. Margaret Mary Alacoque herself. These reflections are taken from my new book, The Rule of the Sacred Heart: Finding Rest in a Restless World. I crafted this book as a 33-day devotional, leading us, step by step, toward intimacy with Christ in his Sacred Heart and responding to his mercy in our lives. Over the 33 days, we meditate on biblical scenes, probe the revelations of the Sacred Heart to Christ's saints, and give our minds and hearts little by little to the Sacred Heart each day, all while taking on small but intentional devotions.What I share with you today are short introductions to three saints that accompany the devotions in the third week of the devotional journey. I hope you enjoy.Follow-up Resources:The Rule of the Sacred Heart: Finding Rest in a Restless World by Leonard DeLorenzo (OSV)“St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and the Devotion to the Sacred Heart,” podcast episode via Church Life Today“Drawing close to feel the beating of the Sacred Heart,” by Leonard J.

In today's Gospel we have Jesus looking at the crowds and his Sacred Heart having pity for the crowd.

Read OnlineAt the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Matthew 9:36As Jesus went “to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness” (Matthew 9:35), He was moved with deep compassion for the crowds. The Greek verb splagchnizomai is often translated as “moved with pity” or “moved with compassion.” It appears twelve times in the Gospels—eight times describing Jesus' own compassion and four times illustrating divine mercy in parables or related contexts (the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son, the Unforgiving Servant, and the plea of a father for his demon-possessed son). This verb conveys not just an emotional response but a profound stirring of His entire being, compelling Him to act with divine mercy—engaging His mind, will, body, and emotions.Understanding this verb is essential because it unveils the very heart of Christ's mission, where His divine mercy is fully manifest in His humanity. Though His mercy originates in His divinity, He fully lived and expressed it in His human nature, allowing it to consume Him entirely and drive Him to shepherd His people.Jesus' all-consuming compassion should profoundly console us. God does not love us out of mere divine obligation; His love is deeply personal, intimate, and relentless. He is not distant or impersonal, aloof in His perfection. In Christ, God's mercy is made visible—His human heart is stirred to action, doing everything He can to draw us closer to Himself. This is why His compassion is such a source of reassurance: He is not a distant or angry God, standing far off to condemn. Rather, He is the God who, in Christ, allows Himself to be consumed with mercy, driven by compassion, and moved to act for the salvation of each one of us.That same profound mercy continues to flow from the Sacred Heart today. In Heaven, Christ's human heart remains inseparably united to His divinity, pouring forth the love of the Father and the Holy Spirit upon the world. His compassion is made present to us through His Church, especially in the Sacraments and in the lives of saintly men and women. This same compassion must become the driving force behind all we do for the Kingdom. We are called to be His living instruments of mercy, reflecting His Sacred Heart in our actions, words, and love for others—so that each of us might be reassured of God's unfailing love.We see in today's Gospel that Jesus' compassion moved Him to send out twelve of His disciples as His Apostles, entrusting them with His divine authority to proclaim the Kingdom of God, cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, and drive out demons. They were to be His chosen instruments of mercy, reaching out to the lost sheep of the house of Israel—those in dire need of God's truth and healing grace.Today, Jesus sends each of us forth in a unique way to be a beacon of light and mercy to others. He first calls us to love those closest to us—our family and friends—not in an ordinary way, but in a radical self-giving that mirrors His own love. We must allow our whole beings to be moved with divine compassion for them, reassuring them of both our love and God's love. But our mission cannot end there. After loving our families, we must extend that same compassion to all whom God places in our lives, offering the same depth of mercy that filled Jesus' Sacred Heart long ago.Reflect today on Jesus' divine compassion from two perspectives. First, gaze at His overflowing love for you. There is no way to overestimate that love. Second, allow that love to transform you so that His mercy flows through you into the lives of others. Do not hold back the love of God—let it pour forth freely and abundantly. Let His divine compassion move your entire being so that you become a true instrument of His mercy, drawing souls to Him through the power of love and all-consuming compassion. Most loving Lord, when You gazed upon the people of Israel's troubles and abandonment, Your Sacred Heart was stirred with deep compassion. Pour forth that same compassion upon me, O Lord, and make me an instrument of Your mercy in the lives of others. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: The mosiac of Sermon on the mount in churchSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

A Meditation for the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart 

Fr. Perrin Atisha - Feast of The Sacred Heart 2026 by Chaldean Diocese

Do you understand why there is a devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus? Maybe you wonder why there would be a devotion to a heart. Father Tim Grumbach joins Trending with Timmerie to break down the incredible devotion to the Sacred Heart and how it is rooted in Sacred Scripture, the tradition of the Church, and in the writings of Popes. Timmerie also discusses the incredible science behind Eucharistic miracles and what they have to do with the heart of Christ. Do you struggle to believe in the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist? Celebrate the month of June dedicated to the Eucharist and the Sacred Heart! Resources mentioned: Haurietis Aquas- Encyclical on the Sacred Heart of Jesus (May 15, 1956) | PIUS XII Listen to the podcast: Month of the Eucharist & Sacred Heart of Jesus

The devotion to the Sacred Heart reminds us that God desires the salvation of every person and never stops pursuing us with His love.Morning Offering, June 12, 2026 is brought to you by The Catholic Company  (https://bit.ly/3Q4zYij)Every morning, join Father Brad as he begins the day with prayer and reflection.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Saturday, June 13, the day after the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we celebrate the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.The Immaculate Heart of Mary reminds us of purity, love, and devotion. It symbolizes Mary's unwavering faith, compassion, and deep connection to God's will.Her heart, untouched by sin, is a model of holiness for all.Through her heart, we find a perfect reflection of God's mercy and grace, guiding us toward a deeper relationship. We seek Mary's intercession to live with love and humility and grow closer to Christ Our Savior.The feast was established in 1944, in the midst of World War II, by Pope Pius XII, who consecrated the world and placed it under the special protection of the Virgin Mary.Pius XII's Decree of May 4, 1944. asked her intercession to obtain "peace among nations, freedom for the Church, the conversion of sinners, the love of purity and the practice of virtue."But the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary wasn't new.Christians were early attracted by the love and virtues of the Heart of Mary.Simeon's prophecy that Mary's heart would be pierced with a sword paved the way for this devotion. Moreover, Mary was not passive at the foot of the Cross; "she cooperated through charity," as St. Augustine says, "in the work of our redemption."The meditations on the Ave Maria and the Salve Regina date back to the Eleventh century.In the seventeenth century, St. John Eudes preached it together with that of the Sacred Heart.In 1830, during the revelation of the "miraculous medal," the Virgin Mary showed to Catherine Laboure the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus united.In the nineteenth century, Pius VII and Pius IX allowed several churches to celebrate a feast of the Pure Heart of Mary.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Any person questioning God or desiring some vision or revelation would be guilty not only of foolish behavior but also of offending him, by not fixing his eyes entirely upon Christ and by living with the desire for some other novelty.27 (”St. John of the Cross)

The Sacred Heart of Jesus is more than a symbol.  Jesus truly loves us with his heart.  This love is fully human: emotional, warm, tender, encouraging.  This love is fully divine: all powerful, infinite, eternal.   To appreciate this love we need to live in it and pray about it.  Let's "enter into the Sacred Heart of Jesus," as saints and Popes alike have encouraged us.  There we find new strength for our own love of God and others.  

Father tells us that we need to be the sheep that listens to the Lord.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, June 12, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, a feast designated the Friday after the Second Sunday of Pentecost.In the late 17th century, St. Marguerite Marie Alacoque, a cloistered nun of the Visitation Order, received several private revelations of the Sacred Heart.The devotion to the Sacred Heart calls for an “attitude of conversion and reparation, of love and gratitude, apostolic commitment, and dedication to Christ and his saving work,” as the Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy denotes.The Catechism of the Catholic Church states,"Jesus knew and loved us each and all during his life, his agony and his Passion, and gave himself up for each one of us: "The Son of God. . . loved me and gave himself for me" (Gal 2:20). He has loved us all with a human heart. For this reason, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced by our sins and for our salvation (Cf. Jn 19:34), "is quite rightly considered the chief sign and symbol of that. . . love with which the divine Redeemer continually loves the eternal Father and all human beings" without exception (Pius XII, Enc. Haurietis aquas (1956): DS 3924; cf. DS 3812).Pope Benedict XVI wrote, “The essential nucleus of Christianity is expressed in the Heart of Jesus; in Christ the whole of the revolutionary newness of the Gospel was revealed and given to us: the Love that saves us and already makes us live in God's eternity. Even our shortcomings, our limitations, and our weaknesses must lead us back to the Heart of Jesus. His divine Heart calls to our hearts, inviting us to come out of ourselves, to abandon our human certainties to trust in him and, following his example, to make of ourselves a gift of love without reserve.”Today is also the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests. The World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests takes place every year on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

June 12th, 2026:  Enthronement to the Sacred Heart;  Sacred Heart - Glowing Furnace of Charity;  The Sacred Heart of Jesus;  Reparation to the Sacred Heart

Send us Fan MailA heart crowned with thorns, wounded, and still on fire with love is not just a striking Catholic image. For us, the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a doorway into the mercy of Christ, a reminder that his love is personal, costly, and still open to anyone who feels weary, distant, or ready to begin again.We trace the devotion from its biblical foundation in John 19:34, where blood and water flow from Christ's pierced side, to the way the early Church Fathers connected that moment to the sacraments of the Eucharist and baptism. From there, we follow the historical thread through St Margaret Mary Alacoque's Sacred Heart revelations, the call to reparation and Eucharistic adoration, and the First Friday devotion that has shaped generations of Catholic spirituality. We also highlight St John Eudes and how he helped bring this devotion into the Church's public worship and preaching.Then we slow down and make it practical: we explain the Twelve Promises of the Sacred Heart, what they mean, and why they are best received as an invitation to trust rather than a checklist. We also unpack the symbolism in the classic image, from the flames to the wound to the cross, so you can pray with it more intentionally at home, in your parish, or during adoration.

One thousand Catholics carried Jesus through the streets of Washington D.C. on the feast of Corpus Christi. Six hundred thousand young people flooded the streets of Madrid on the first evening of the Pope's apostolic visit to Spain.A diocese in North Carolina just ordained 10 priests in a single day, the largest ordination class in its 54-year history, and the faithful lined up around the block for hours just to receive a first blessing from newly anointed hands. The bishops of the United States, for the first time in 250 years, consecrated this nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Read Online“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves…” Matthew 11:28–29The words gentle and power do not often appear side by side. Yet when we contemplate the Sacred Heart of Jesus, these two seemingly opposite qualities unite perfectly within the divine mystery of Christ's love.In Year B of the liturgical cycle, we read from John's Gospel the scene in which a soldier pierces our Lord's Sacred Heart with a lance—“and immediately blood and water flowed out” (John 19:34). Today, in Year A, we hear a different but complementary revelation. In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus opens His Heart to us not by the soldier's lance but by His own words: “Come to me…” Spiritually speaking, we are invited to enter into His Heart—the same Heart that will be pierced for us, from which mercy will flow like a river of grace.These tender, gentle, and powerful words are far more than a compassionate summons to draw near. They are a divine invitation to union—to rest in Him, to dwell in Him, and most profoundly, to live within His Sacred Heart. This Heart is not only a place of refuge, but a furnace of transforming love and strength.To enter the Sacred Heart of Jesus is to enter the very center of God's love—a love that is meek and humble, yet also all-powerful and eternal. In this Heart, we do not find a throne of earthly power, but the throne of divine mercy. We find not a king who rules with coercion, but the King of kings who governs through self-sacrifice and compassion. The One who holds the universe in existence invites us into rest, not by removing our burdens, but by sharing them and sanctifying them through His love.When Jesus says, “Take my yoke upon you,” He does not mean we will escape from life's labors but that those labors will be transformed by, with, and in Him. The yoke binds us to Him. He does not place it on us from without; rather, He invites us to share in His own yoke—to labor with Him, walk with Him, and suffer with Him. In so doing, we discover that His way is one of deep interior rest and peace. Why? Because His yoke is forged in love. His burden is light because it is borne together with grace. The Sacred Heart is more than an object of admiration and devotion; it is a dwelling place for all who seek refuge, strength, and divine union. To rest in the Sacred Heart is to surrender our illusions of self-sufficiency, to cast our anxieties upon Him, and to entrust ourselves entirely to His providential will. It is to let go of striving alone and to begin walking in step with the One who is Himself the Way, the Truth, and the Life. When we live in the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we live in union with Him, and He begins to act in and through us. Most importantly, we are drawn into His own prayer to the Father—the prayer He offered just before extending His invitation: “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth…” and “All things have been handed over to me by my Father” (Matthew 11:25, 27). In Jesus, we give praise to the Father and hallow His name—His very essence—fulfilling the first petition of the Lord's Prayer: “Hallowed be Thy name.” And in Christ, as those who dwell within His Sacred Heart, we can truly say that all things have also been handed over to us: the fullness of divine sonship, the inheritance of the Kingdom, and the joy of sharing in His mission of mercy. Nothing could be more glorious than this. On our part, we simply need to heed His gentle and powerful command: “Come to me…” Reflect today on the invitation Jesus offers you. What burdens do you carry that He wants to bear with you? What anxieties must be surrendered into the furnace of His love? What would it mean for you to live in His Heart, and allow Him to live in yours? Come to Him, do not hesitate, and your burdens will be transformed by grace. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You, love You, and adore You. Transform my understanding of today's solemnity into something far greater than mere devotion—make it a way of life. I say “Yes” to Your invitation, dear Lord, and I come to You without hesitation. Enfold me in Your merciful Heart and teach me to live in union with You each day. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Sacred Heart of Jesus, altarpiece in the Holy Trinity Parish Church in Klenovnik, Croatia Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life!

We have all heard about the Sacred Heart of Jesus, but do we really know what God asks of us through it? Do we understand the importance and how we as a single disciple can change the world? Hear Fr. Chris Alar explain why the United States waited so long to Consecrate to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and how we can avoid being like France in being too late. 

Today’s Topics: 1) Gospel – Matthew 5:20-26 – Jesus said to His disciples:  “I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven. “You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, Raqa, will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court with him. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.” Memorial of Saint Barnabas, Apostle Saint Barnabas, pray for us!
