June is the Month of the Sacret Heart of Jesus

Do you remember as of last month, we are starting something new and exciting?  If you go back to May’s post, you will see a list of 18 ideas of how to focus on the theme of the month.  We are picking them at random, just to make it fun and challenging.  Hubby once again picked it out of a plastic cup and this time, came up with:  Location!  That means, I have the task of finding a location relating to the Sacred Heart. 

Well, that didn’t require a lot of thought…

Sanctuaire du Sacre-Cœur ~ Paray-le-Monial

Charolais-Brionnais, France

This is where Our Blessed Lord appeared to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, showing her the ineffable love of His Sacred Heart.  Have a look at their site above, for an informative 18-minute video and more.  Excerpt:

“Three great apparitions of Jesus to Saint Margaret Mary focus on the message for the attention of all men…They took place between the end of December 1673 and June 1675.  One can identify three great dimensions of this message: a declaration of love (I), a complaint (II), a demand (III).”

These 3 dimensions are described in detail on the Home page.

It just so happens, this is a very special year in the United States, for devotion to the Sacred Heart!  From Sacred Heart Enthronement Network:

“…the United States Catholic Bishops will offer prayers of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 11, on behalf of our nation. This historic event coincides with the 250th Anniversary of our nation and serves as an invitation to place our trust in Christ. Catholics are encouraged to spend time before the Blessed Sacrament, pray for our nation, and perform acts of charity and service, as we prepare for this important moment. You can watch the Consecration take place in Orlando, Florida, via livestream on the Catholic Bishops Website. 

…we are in a great spiritual battle between good and evil. Now is the time to pray, consecrate, enthrone, honor, and share the message of His Heart more fervently than ever.”

…And pray for peace!

The USCCB is also taking this opportunity to honor Catholics who have historically contributed to the United States.  They are producing a video series on this (see link above).  Sacred Heart Enthronement Network is promoting a Sacred Heart Revival, which you may participate in.  Here is the Novena to the Sacred Heart on their site, which begins June 3.  There is so much else to discover that this ministry is doing and also a Catholic shop.

The feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is on Friday the 12th , and is a solemnity, therefore no penance is required.  This is also the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests.  Let us lift up our spiritual fathers to the most loving Heart of Our Lord in their many needs.  We cannot help but notice the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is the very next day!  This is obviously no coincidence, as Holy Church shows us how intimately the 2 Hearts are united.  The feast of Corpus Christi  (the 4th in the trad, the 7th in the post-con, known as the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ) is also linked to the Sacred Heart, as it is an aspect of the Corpus of Christ.  We may also invoke His Eucharistic Heart in this wonderful Mystery of the Incarnation.

Note below, we celebrate several New Testament figures this month:  Saint Barnabas (mentioned in Acts), Saint John the Baptist, Saint Peter and Saint Paul.  As of Trinity Sunday, this past Sunday, we have entered the Time After Pentecost and remain therein until Advent, in the trad.  We continue to meditate on the Mystery of the Redemption for the rest of the Liturgical Year.

Some key feasts coming up from both calendars…

11th-Saint Barnabas

13th-Saint Anthony of Padua-Companion of Saint Francis, Visionary of the Christ Child, Doctor of the Church

23rd-Vigil of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist

Cutting Through the Propaganda, Part 2

Clayton & Natali Morris Interview Chris Martenson

This is a 20 minute video, also featuring Peak Prosperity’s Chris Martenson.

I met Chris and his wife twice at Peak’s Annual Summit in New England. What an amazing group of people this event attracts. Chris and Evie were very gracious and I have developed a wonderful rapport with them. I sent them an Easter Mass card this year (they aren’t even Catholic) and they wrote back a handwritten “thank you” note, which was completely unexpected.

I have learned so much from Chris over the years and it is because of him that I threw myself into gardening 15 years ago (I had some experience, but this is when I got really serious), which led to teaching my son gardening (he’s better than me now) and also myself taking the Cornell Master Gardener Course…and other adventures. At that time, I had already started my first version of this blog, “futurecatholic.net,” 2 years earlier.

Mr. & Mrs. Morris interview Chris on their well-known show “Redacted,” about the Iran War and its fallout. The oil supply of the US is discussed…it’s not as much as you’ve been told…and we are in the process of actively depleting our strategic reserve.

As always, don’t worry, trust in God and do the best you can with what you have been given. Always be at peace. Always be joyful, as you receive Our Blessed Lord each week in Holy Communion. Pray the Rosary and seek to fulfill Our Lady of Fatima’s requests to mitigate this time of sorrows and bring souls back to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His Holy Church. We live for Heaven. Anything that happens on earth will look like a mere moment within eternity!

Mario Nawfal Interviews Chris Martenson

Here is a 13 minute video that explains the polycrises unfolding globally at this time. The USA is not immune to the results of it’s own actions in a war which probably does not meet the criteria for defensive attack taught by Holy Church. Furthermore, the USA and Israel had no right to visit such chaos and very potentially, famine, upon the world, due to lack of critical supply. Even furthermore, it is arguable that crimes against humanity/war crimes have been committed by America and Israel in Iran and Lebanon.

I am very impressed by this young man, Mario Nawfal, who has made a name for himself in alternative media. This is part of a longer interview with my friend Chris Martenson. Chris has been all over the alt media recently giving his expertise in economy and energy, which are precisely the issues before us.

The time is short. Act now to prepare, stocking up on supplies is most important right now…while things are still available and affordable…and while you still have the gas to get to the stores. A perfect storm is brewing of many things exploding at once. Do the math yourself, this isn’t rocket science. All the experts across the board are now saying the same things. The person on the street though, hasn’t seemed to have gotten the memo, BUT YOU HAVE!

…And don’t forget about our Preparedness Worksheet on the Home page:)

About This "UFO Disclosure" Thing...

It happened on a feast of Saint Michael!

Why is this significant? Remember when Roe vs. Wade was overturned on the feast of the Sacred Heart? God works in amazing ways to console us and give us signs. People don’t plan these things this way, it just happens, perhaps through Divine Providence.

Professor and author Daniel O’Connor is of the belief, along with many others who have studied “aliens,” Unidentified Flying Objects or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, and related paranormal experiences…that these entities are real, and in fact, demonic manifestations. If this is true, it adds meaning to the fact that this initial date of “disclosure” took place on a feast of the greatest Archangel Michael, the very angel who thrust Satan into Hell with the words “Who is like unto God?” So we should not worry. Such things must happen at this time, but God is in control and everything He allows will work to His ultimate glory and the salvation of souls!

O’Connor has written 2 books on this topic, here is the shorter one below (we do not necessarily endorse all of the assertions in this book)…

Joe Blogs ~ Panic Spreads

From the notes:

“In today’s video, we take a deep dive into the growing economic fallout from the ongoing war in Iran — and this time the warnings are coming directly from major global companies. Quarterly earnings reports and shareholder updates are now revealing the real-world impact of soaring oil prices, supply chain disruption, rising shipping costs, inflation pressures, and operational chaos across multiple industries.

Airlines, automotive firms, chemical companies, consumer brands, logistics businesses and tech companies are all now reporting financial damage linked to the crisis in the Middle East. With oil prices remaining above $100 and no clear resolution in sight, the risks to the global economy continue to grow.

The big question now is whether this escalating situation could push the world towards recession.”

“Coming Food Crisis”...

…Predicted in Financial Times Essay (UK)

From Hunger Notes, excerpt…

The contraction in exports from the Middle East is not just a short-term increase in price for agricutural inputs; it risks actual production shortfalls in upcoming harvests.  Rising energy prices always raise food prices.

…sulfur, urrea, and ammonia from the Middle East are key components of farm inputs in China, India, Brazil, Morocco, Indonesia, Australia, the United States and other countries.

…The essay argues that this is a slow-moving yet systemic crisis as farmers plant less now, with resulting smaller harvests months ahead, leading to further increases in food prices later this year.  FT recognizes that poor countries will be hit harvest [hardest? both words work].  While wealthier countries will experience inflation, low income countries may face famine.
