Dear Friend, 

Early this morning, from the Shrine Church, at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Cardinal Burke, in his homily, touched upon the month of June being dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Cardinal Burke said: “Jesus, after his death on the cross, He permitted His Heart to be opened by the soldiers, which came, by the lance, an outpouring of blood and water to signify the grace of the Holy Spirit, that He would pour forth into our hearts unceasingly, from his glorious pierced heart, seated at the right hand of God the Father in heaven."

One of the significant points that resonated with viewers in the homily concerned this time of great confusion and turmoil in the world. Speaking of what the Church is experiencing during this time, His Eminence said, “indeed in the Church itself, a great wandering away from the truth. “We pray for the purification of hearts, for the purification of a wordily way of thinking which has entered into even the mind and hearts of the members of the Church and even of her shepherds,” said Cardinal Burke.  

His Eminence encouraged the faithful to make a sacred pilgrimage in the month of June. He welcomed all to pray at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, that he founded, in La Crosse, Wisconsin especially during June which is simply beautiful this time of year. Click here to view the Shrine’s website.

May the Holy Heart of Jesus, fountain of all blessings, assist you and your loved ones with every temporal need. 

Yours in Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
