'This year, on June 16 — the day of the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus — a professional baseball team has shockingly chosen to honor a group whose lewdness and vulgarity in mocking our Lord, His Mother, and consecrated women cannot be overstated. This is not just offensive and painful to Christians everywhere; it is blasphemy.'
Unbelievably, the Halton Catholic District School Board is even billing 'Pride Awareness Day' as an integral part of its observances to honor June as the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a traditional Catholic devotion.
On this week's episode of The Bishop Strickland Show, Bishop Joseph Strickland urges us this Lent to draw closer to the Blessed Virgin Mary and to proclaim and live in accord with God's truth.
In this month that we are told is dedicated to pride, the power of satan is overcome by Precious Blood beating in the Sacred Heart that was made incarnate by Our Lord condescending Himself into the flesh in an infinitely important act of humility.
Instead of focusing on LGBT-inspired distortions of love, a devotion to the Sacred Heart allows us to turn to God as the proper end of all endeavors and our highest good.
