Novena to the Sacred Heart (June 3-11th) as according to the USSCB:
Prayer:
Lord, I come to Your tender Heart today, to You who have words that set my heart ablaze, to You who pour out compassion on the little ones and the poor, on those who suffer, and on all human miseries. I desire to know You more, to contemplate You in the Gospel, to be with You and learn from You and from the charity with which You allowed Yourself to be touched by all forms of poverty. You showed us the Father’s love by loving us without measure with Your divine and human Heart. Grant all Your children the grace of encountering You. Change, shape, and transform our plans, so that we seek only You in every circumstance: in prayer, in work, in encounters, and in our daily routine. From this encounter, send us out on mission, a mission of compassion for the world in which You are the source from which all consolation flows.
Amen.

Another hot take: If you're going to give the assent of faith to St. Thomas, maybe you should do both him and yourself a favor and read the majority of his corpus before reaching a verdict? That way, your verdict doesn't rest on Thomism being "hip" on the internet, which is almost like intellectual cuckholdry. Find a better reason to be a fanboy.
"St. Thomas is right on everything."
"Ok, how much of St. Thomas have you read?"
" . . . "
@OomfCuddler Make sure to read the other Holy Doctors as well, the Church canonized and raised them up to the statues of Doctor of the Church for a reason.

"The conquest of the Christian West, as the Egyptian president Nasser told me, is indeed one of the primary objectives of the Islamic world which now extends its influence from Asia to Africa and which is penetrating massively even into the European continent by means of the recent phenomenon of Immigration. The construction of a mosque in Rome is part of this project of Islamising our society."
- Silvio Cardinal Oddi, Lettera al prof. Roberto de Mattel, Corrispondenza Romana, 4 August 1993.
Although liturgy does not appear among the agenda’s stated topics, it could still surface during the consistory’s opening discussions. The Cardinals will be asked during the first session to consider the “sufferings, tensions, and questions” affecting local Churches and to identify “signs of hope” and opportunities for “reconciliation” to present to the Pope and the Sacred College.
Should the Cardinals choose to do so, the scope of this discussion would appear broad enough to encompass issues ranging from restrictions on the traditional Latin Mass to the Society of St. Pius X’s planned episcopal consecrations on July 1.
In the Eucharist, we find a visible manifestation of the reality that we are the Church of Christ, His members, His body. We are brothers and sisters in Him. And in Christ, though many and diverse, we are one: "In Illo uno unum". #CorpusChristi#MagnificaHumanitas
"There is no evil to be faced that Christ does not face with us. There is no enemy that Christ has not already conquered. There is no cross to bear that Christ has not already borne for us, and does not now bear with us. And on the far side of every cross we find the newness of life in the Holy Spirit, that new life which will reach its fulfillment in the resurrection. This is our faith. This is our witness before the world."
Pope St John Paul 2
