🔥 Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus 🔥

Saints Peter and Paul Parish | New Braunfels

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, gather us as one family — neighbors, strangers, friends — and remove whatever divides us.

On this Solemnity, we join the bishops of our nation who entrusted America to your Heart. Thank you for 250 years of blessings on this country. Heal our wounds, and renew in us the dignity of every person made in your image.

Bless our city, our nation, and our athletes competing before the world this summer — may rivalry give way to respect, and competition to friendship.

Through the intercession of St. Anthony, patron of our Archdiocese as it marks 100 years, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, lead us always to your Heart.

Teach us to walk together, pray together, and serve together — one parish, one nation, united in You. 🇺🇸✝️

*Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, make our hearts like unto thine. Amen.*

The Diocese of Salford has officially opened the cause for the beatification and canonization of Pedro Ballester, a Manchester student who died from cancer at just 21. This formal step marks the beginning of an investigation into his life and holiness, potentially making him the Catholic Church’s first saint from the Gen Z generation. "We are pleased to announce the opening of the Cause for the Beatification and Canonisation of Pedro Ballester, a young Manchester man whose life of faith and witness continues to inspire many," the diocese stated, highlighting the profound impact of his short but faithful life.

A chemical engineering student and dedicated member of Opus Dei, Ballester’s journey was marked by a courageous battle with aggressive pelvic cancer that began shortly after he started university. Despite his suffering, he remained an "athlete of love," famously offering his pain for the Church and the Pope. His funeral at Holy Name Church was attended by hundreds and led by the future Cardinal Arthur Roche, signaling the widespread recognition of his "heroic virtue" and his growing reputation as a modern model of joy in the face of adversity.
