Behold the Sacred Heart of Our Lord

The Homily begins with Time.

In the discussion, Time is referenced as what we give when we pray. Our living must be ordered, not simply to the world around us, but in Mysteries of the Gospels as they unfold within our lives. If we do not make a gift to the Lord of our time, how can we say He is the Lord of Our Hearts? If our time is not surrendered to Him, how can He be Lord of our lives?

Jesus’ Sacred Heart

In the month of June, we honor Jesus’ Sacred Heart. We surrender this month to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus. A Heart that is depicted “a flame”. It is especially in this month we turn to the great Mystery of the Heart of Jesus. The Devotion to Jesus’ Sacred Heart is based partly on the Gospel read within this Spiritual Insight, especially the last line. They will look upon Him whom they have pierced. Specifically, the piercing of His Heart with a lance. This piercing, from which blood and water flows; Baptism and Eucharist. This month we look upon Him through the piercing of His Heart.

The Lord indeed wants us all to look at and contemplate deeply this piercing of His Heart. Behold this Heart, which has so loved men, but is loved so very little in return. This statement which was communicated to St. Margret Mary, was not foretold to non-believers, but believers. Those who proclaim the Lord, and who say they love the Lord…but actually show little love to the Lord. They superficially love and engage the Lord’s love for them. They do not linger with God’s love and they do not allow this love to pe*****te them. Simply, they do not fully appreciate God’s love and God’s Sacred Heart.

The Key to Being Grateful,
Is Found in the Command to Behold …
We are invited this month to Behold the Sacred Heart of the Lord. In May, The Association of Mary, Queen of All Hearts spent time to Behold the Mother of God (see link). In June, we Behold Our Lord. The more He is in Our lives, the more the goodness of the Lord will shine forth for us and through us.

Mary, Mother of the Church

Today’s Homily reflects on the Feast of Mary, Mother of the Church, . . .
. . highlighting the Church’s growing recognition of Mary’s unique role in salvation history.

The Homily explains that Mary’s motherhood of the Church begins with her “yes” at the Annunciation, where she became the New Eve and cooperated in God’s plan of redemption. Her presence at the foot of the Cross, where Jesus entrusted her to the beloved disciple, reveals her spiritual motherhood over all believers.

Mary is also present at Pentecost, praying with the first Christian community as the Holy Spirit descends upon the Church. As the one assumed into heaven, she serves as a model and guide for all Christians on their journey toward eternal glory. The feast celebrates Mary as the mother, protector, and spiritual companion of the faithful, leading us ever closer to Christ.

The Lord Asks Us to Pay Attention to Him!

In the first reading (not included within this audio set), we hear a number of statements that anticipates (by nearly 800 years) what happens in the events of Good Friday!

The prophet proclaims the injustice and shallow worship of the northern kingdom in Israel. The Prophet Amos looks to the events of Good Friday. He also talks of things to come down to our present day!

He talks about Christians in terms of what happens on Sunday. The prophet says its curious on Feast days, many Christians count down the time until it’s over. Today, many Christians can’t wait until Mass is over. Christians in the time of the prophet and even today believe they have more important things to do and are anxious to begin those activities even before Mass ends. The prophet says it doesn’t manner how you worship, if your heart is not right. Hear more in this Homily and its impact on us today.

On the First Friday of the month. It is also the First Friday Devotion. What does the Lord ask of us? The Lord asks for extra time to be set aside to be with Him! The Lord Asks Us to Pay Attention to Him!

What does that really mean? Listen to this Meditation Media.

Not Just Dying for Freedom, But Living Into It: The Mystery of Memorial Day

This Memorial Day Homily discusses the dual nature of the holiday: . . . . . a time of remembrance and a celebration of life. While modern culture often focuses on barbecues and the start of summer, the core of Memorial Day is about honoring those who gave their lives in service to others. The Homily draws a parallel between the sacrifices of fallen soldiers and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, highlighting the Christian view of true freedom . . . not as personal indulgence, but as the ability to lay oneself down for others.

The Homily underscores that freedom and goodness are both fragile and great, demanding sacrifice and vigilance. True greatness comes not from dying for a cause but from living for one, especially when that cause is rooted in truth, goodness, and love.

Memorial Day, then, is not just about past sacrifice but about how we live moving forward . . . grateful, purposeful, and committed to values that are greater than ourselves. The liturgy and the Eucharist reinforce this call, as Christ continually offers Himself to us, showing the model of sacrificial love we are to follow.

Five Saturdays of Reparation

This conference explores the rich history, theology, and spiritual meaning behind the Five First Saturdays Devotion . . .
. . associated with Sister Lucia and Our Lady of Fatima. The conference explains that devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary on Saturdays long predates Fatima, arising from the Church’s meditation on Holy Saturday, when Mary alone remained steadfast in faith while Christ lay in the tomb.

Over centuries, Christians began dedicating Saturdays . . . and especially First Saturdays . . . to honoring Mary’s role in salvation history, meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, and growing spiritually through communal prayer. The conference highlights how the Five First Saturdays requested at Fatima are not a completely new devotion, but a focused renewal of older Marian traditions, emphasizing fervor over routine and intentional prayer over empty habit.

Why Five First Saturdays?

The conference further explains the spiritual practices requested for the Five First Saturdays: Holy Communion, Confession, praying the Rosary, fifteen minutes of meditation on the mysteries, and offering these acts in reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The conference also explores the five types of Reparation.

The devotion is presented as both deeply personal and profoundly catechetical, inviting believers to understand and defend Marian doctrines such as the Immaculate Conception, perpetual virginity, and Mary’s motherhood of God and the Church. The reflection also stresses the importance of reverence, beauty, and intentionality in Catholic devotion, warning against mediocrity and neglect in honoring sacred things.

Ultimately, the Five First Saturdays are portrayed as an act of love, reparation, and perseverance, with the promise that the Blessed Mother will assist the faithful with the graces needed at the hour of death.

Childlike Trust and the Path to Holiness

Today’s homily reflects on the message of Our Lady of Fátima apparitions and its enduring relevance for the modern world.

The homily emphasizes that in the midst of the turmoil of 1917, during the First World War, Heaven chose not worldly leaders but three humble shepherd children to receive Mary’s message. We are reminded that childlike trust and openness to God are essential for entering the Kingdom of Heaven.

The central themes of the homily include praying the Rosary daily for peace, offering penance and repentance for sinners, and cultivating devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

True Devotion to Mary Must Come from the Heart, and …

Drawing heavily from the teachings of Saint Louis de Montfort, the homily explains that true devotion to Mary must come from the heart, be rooted in trust, strive toward holiness, remain consistent through hardships, and move beyond self-interest into a genuine relationship with Mary that leads souls to Jesus Christ.

The Gospel passage from Gospel of Luke is presented as confirmation that Mary’s greatness lies in her perfect obedience to the Word of God, making her the model disciple for all Christians.

Pentecost Sunday: The Birth of the Church

The Gospel and readings show a single location on two different Sundays.

In the Gospel, it is the evening of the first day of the week . . . on Easter Sunday. The Lord arrives at a room. The place of the Great Super . . . the Last Super on the night before He died. In the room is His disciples . . . the Church. They are locked inside to keep the dangers of the world outside.

It is into this room, that the Lord arrives on Easter Sunday. There is great joy! His risen presence breaks the fear of His disciples. The Lord gives His disciples His first gift . . . the Gift of Peace to His Church. It is a Peace that does not take the danger out of this world. But a Peace that settles the heart to live in this world. It is a gift that is so important, that He gives it twice. The first Peace is a Peace that allows the joy of seeing Him. Then a Peace that allows the receiving of a second . . . and even greater gift. It is the Gift of the Holy Spirit. Hear more in the Homily.

The Birth of the Church
Fifty days later, we are back in the same room. The same room of the locked doors. The disciples are they there on a Sunday at prayer. The Church can fit into this one room. In quite confidence, the Church is at prayer. . . not fear. Jesus told them not to leave before the Spirit comes.

The building begins to shake. Nothing else, but the building. It was windy and very sunny. Indoors where the sunlight is greater than a sunny day at the beach. Windy and sunny. Heaven descends in its power within the room. After this happens, the Church spills out of the room. The Church steps out into the world. Today the Church spans the entire world.

The disciples had no material wealth. But they changed the world, because they came out into the world. This is what we celebrate today. Pentecost Sunday: The Birth of the Church. Hear more on what we celebrate on this birth of the Church. Listen to this Meditation Media.

Pentecost: The Church’s Gathering in the Upper Room, Preceding its Mission to Proclaim to the Ends of the Earth

Traditionally, in certain regions, Pentecost Sunday is referred to as White Sunday.

But wait, why is it called White Sunday when priests wear red and the Holy Spirit, symbolized by fire and the color red, is honored? The explanation for this can be found in the first part of the Homily.

Pentecost Sunday is a day of miracles. Many Christians are familiar with the story of the Apostles being understood by people of all languages. However, the miracle was not that the Apostles spoke in multiple tongues. The true miracle lay in the act of hearing. Despite the presence of numerous cultures and languages, the people heard and understood the message spoken by the Apostles. So, what does this miracle signify? What possibilities did it enable? Discover more insights within the Homily.
. . Preceding its Mission to Proclaim to the Ends of the Earth

It is worth noting the parallels between Easter and Pentecost. On Easter Sunday, the resurrection was not witnessed by anyone; not even a select few had that privilege. Why? Because it pleased God to send the Apostles to spread the news of the Lord’s victory throughout the world. Although human eyes did not witness His rising, they will witness His victory through His Church. Delve deeper into these parallels in the Homily.

Pentecost Sunday marks the birth of the Church. Pentecost: The Church’s Gathering in the Upper Room, Preceding its Mission to Proclaim to the Ends of the Earth. Further contemplation on this topic can be found in the accompanying Meditation Media.

Traditional Marian Devotion and Revelation

Our regular readers of The Queen, like many other magazines, . . .
. . has a section called “Questions and Answers” (see this link for the latest). It deals mainly with matters that touch on St. Louis de Montfort’s form of devotion known as Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary.

The questions sent in by our readers are, for the most part, informative and interesting. Quite often they are also repetitive, since we keep adding new members who may not have seen their questions answered in previous publications. But every now and then there comes along a question that calls for special treatment; a bit more background, some deeper consideration and often enough some extended explanation.

Question: Is Marian Devotion . . .
Such, for example, was a question we received recently; one that calls for more than a short answer. One that touches, in fact, on the matter of renewal of devotion to Our Blessed Lady in the modern world. Here are some excerpts.
