THE FEAST OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

So it has been quite some time since I posted anything and I am not sure why.  Perhaps I am now turning over a new leaf.  At the moment one of the books I am reading is the Devotion to the Sacred Heart  by Fr Jean Croiset SJ.

Fr Croiset was spiritual director to St Margaret Mary Alacoque and it was he whom our Lord commissioned, through St Margaret Mary, to write this book, the original book on the devotion.  It's well worth getting and I found it clear, well-balanced and helpful.  You can get it here at Book Depository.

We don't have a depiction of the Resurrection in the church here so I am posting this photo of one showing the stigmatisation of St Francis!

HONAN CHAPEL: THE SACRED HEART IN THE EASTERN WINDOW

One of the advantages of being attached to the Honan Chapel is that I get to see this beautiful place more or less every working day or whenever I want.  That the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament is honoured with this beautiful house is an example the Church should follow everywhere.
