By Dr. Andrew Abela, Catholic Exchange - Have you ever watched a child learn to walk? As I wrote this, our grandson Owen was in this phase. We watched him as he carefully, intently took each step, concentrating so hard that his tongue was sticking out between his teeth. He had the muscles and the balance, but he had to concentrate hard to take each step because he didn’t yet have the habit of walking. It wasn’t yet automatic... In similar fashion, adults struggle, not with walking, but with managing our feelings, thoughts, and actions.

By Dawn Beutner, Catholic World Report - Every statue, painting, icon, medal, or other representation of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque includes a depiction of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This is hardly surprising since it was largely her visions of Jesus Christ, which caused devotion to the Sacred Heart to spread all over the world. But there is much more to this French nun’s revelations than a simple image. One might say that God, through Margaret Mary, has also provided Catholics with a devotional weapon.
