He is our dearest friend and we have ignored Him. How can we do this to Him, Who has given us everything? In our selfishness, we have forgotten Him and this has even led to our disbelief in His wondrous gift of the Eucharist. Devotion to the Sacred Heart is devotion to Jesus and his love. It is the image of God's love revealed in the pierced heart of His Son. It is a sign or a symbol of both the divine and human love that Jesus has for his Father and for us. It also symbolizes the interior life of Jesus which led to his willingness to lay down his life for us. In Catholic churches and homes, one of the most popular images of Jesus is the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, as we know it today, came about through the visions and experiences of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, given to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in France during the Seventeenth Century. The development of the Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus over the centuries, prior to its...

"IS IT NOTHING TO YOU, ALL YOU WHO PASS BY? LOOK AND SEE IF THERE IS ANY SORROW LIKE MY SORROW?" (JOHN 19:31-34; LAMENTATIONS 1:12) The Rosary of the Seven Sorrows dates back to the Middle Ages, but it gained new popularity following the Marian apparitions in Kibeho, which have been approved by the Catholic Church. During Mary's apparitions to Marie-Claire Mukangango, she assigned the young visionary a mission to reintroduce this special rosary to the world. Before her untimely death, Marie Claire did just that, traveling widely to teach it to thousands of people, who then taught it to thousands of others. (Marie-Claire was killed in the genocide of over a million people in Rwanda, a tragedy that was foretold through visions of rivers of blood that the young people in Kibeho received several years before the killings.) She (the Holy Virgin) promised that when prayed with an open and repentant heart, the rosary would win us the Lord's forgiveness for our sins and free ...

Loving Jesus, You who have shown us the way of forgiveness through your own example on the cross, I come before you with a humble and contrite heart, seeking your guidance and strength. Teach me, dear Lord, the true meaning of forgiveness. You, who willingly embraced suffering and endured the weight of our sins, forgive me for the times I have held onto anger, resentment, and grudges. Help me to release these burdens and let go of the pain that binds my heart. Grant me the wisdom to see others through your compassionate eyes, understanding that they too are flawed and in need of your mercy.
