We find direction and true happiness in our lives by placing our hearts completely within the glorious pierced Heart of Jesus. When we rest our hearts in the Heart of Jesus, they are purified of the sins of pride and rebellion, and are fortified with His pure and selfless love.

St. Bonaventure combined a profound understanding of the faith with an even more profound love for the source of faith: God. His remarkable teaching led Him to an always greater desire to please God in all things, to love God and neighbor without reservation or limit.

The Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother, leads us, with all our needs and with the needs of the world, to her Divine Son with the maternal counsel, which she gave to the wine stewards at the Wedding Feast at Cana: “Do whatever He tells you” (Jn 2,5). #immaculateheartofmary

Given to us as our Mother by her Divine Son, the ever-Virgin Mary draws us with maternal love to her Immaculate Heart, under which God the Son took a human heart. She leads us to place our hearts, with her Immaculate Heart, totally into His Sacred Heart. #immaculateheartofmary

The answer to the question is clear: a Catholic who publicly and obstinately opposes the truth regarding faith and morals may not present himself or herself to receive Holy Communion and neither may the minister of Holy Communion give him or her the Sacrament.

Many Catholics and non-Catholics have asked me how it is possible for Catholics to receive Holy Communion while at the same time publicly and obstinately promoting programs, policies, and legislation in direct violation of the moral law.

Dwelling with us, God the Son Incarnate enables us, as He enabled Saint Stephen the First Martyr for the faith, to be His steadfast and courageous “fellow workers in the truth” (3 Jn 8), His “good soldier[s]” (2 Tm 2, 3).

The source of #Christmas joy is the unchanging truth: God the Son has become man, has dwelt with us, and dwells with us for our eternal salvation. No matter what sorrows weigh upon us, we are joyful because God the Son became the Son of Mary.

At a time when we most need to be close to one another in Christian love, worldly forces would isolate us and have us believe that we are alone... But we are not alone. Our Lady speaks to us, "Am I not here, I who have the honor to be your mother?"
