Madrid witnessed something extraordinary today: Pope Leo XIV carrying our Eucharistic Lord through its streets on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. As thousands followed in prayer and adoration, the scene reflected the beauty of this ancient feast.
But Madrid was not alone. Across the world, Catholics gathered to carry Jesus in the Eucharist through their streets, publicly proclaiming their faith in His Real Presence.
Corpus Christi is more than a tradition—it is living faith made visible. Wherever the Eucharistic Lord was carried in procession today, in Madrid, throughout Spain, throughout the world, there beat the heart of the Church.

I love You, Lord Jesus,
my love above all things.
I repent with my whole heart♡
for having offended You.
Never permit me to separate myself
from You again,
grant that I may love You always
and then do with me what You will!
🕯️⚖️☀️ "I WANT TO WANT" — When Your Heart Chooses the Lesser Light
Saint Augustine didn’t deny the good.
He knew it.
He respected it.
He just prayed:
“Give me chastity… but not yet.”
That’s not ancient history.
That’s Tuesday.
We don’t usually choose evil because it’s evil.
We choose real goods—comfort, pleasure, distraction—
just not in their proper place.
The smaller light.
The nearer thing.
The easier yes.
And over time,
we stop noticing what we’re missing.
The deeper problem?
Sometimes we don’t even want the greater good.
So the most honest prayer isn’t:
“Lord, I’ve got this.”
It’s:
“Lord… I want to want what You want.”
That’s not weakness.
That’s the beginning of conversion.
Even Saint Andrew Wouters—
a man who knew his own failures—
stood firm when it mattered most:
“A fornicator I always was…
a heretic I will never be.”
Not perfect.
But faithful.
🎶 "I WANT TO WANT" — a track for anyone who knows the good… but keeps reaching for something less.

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of You, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your tender Mother and ours. Amen.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The greatest diabolical lie of our times is that we are alone, abandoned, and unloved. Nothing could be further from the truth. God loves us ardently, devotedly, mercifully and constantly. And we are never alone.
🗡🛡 Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen 🙏
Mary, Queen of Holy Angels pray for us 🙏
