Tomorrow, February 6, is First Friday and this Saturday, February 7, is First Saturday. We must increase our devotion to the Two Hearts. Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary are most powerful in setting the whole world back on course (“rebalancing the world”) with God’s design. We honor Jesus’ Heart through worship and we honor Mary’s Heart through veneration. Will you help promote the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and push back on the Devil’s designs—so active in America?
Third Mondays are another opportunity to offer reparation since they are our Evening of Reparation. This month it falls on February 16: we open at 6:30 pm with Eucharistic Exposition, then a 7:00 pm Holy Hour & Mass of Reparation. Reparation heals the world and unleashes more Mercy from God’s Heart while holding Divine Justice at bay. Reparation leads to Consecration—to entrust ourselves totally to Jesus through Mary. After Pope St. John Paul II consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1984 Sister Lucia of Fatima said that this avoided World War III! So be generous with God, however you choose to do so.
Ash Wednesday falls on February 18. We will be OPEN to distribute ashes only during Mass.
Fridays of Lent, beginning Friday, February 20, will include the Stations of the Cross after Mass. Thus, the Holy Rosary will be prayed before Mass at 11:30 am.
