🌟 June 24 — Solemnity of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist 🌟

[Dr Taylor Marshall™️ @TaylorRMarshall]

This will blow your mind:

In the Eucharist, when we stand and listen to the Gospel lesson….

In the first decades of Christianity, before the 4 Gospels were written or circulated, at this point in the liturgy, one of the 12 living Apostles would stand up and tell a story they remembered about Jesus Christ (Gospel lesson) and then explain it (sermon). Then that Apostle would consecrate and distribute the Eucharist.

The 4 Gospels naturally took the place of the living Apostles over time. That’s why the Apostles commissioned the 4 Gospels. And it’s why we still stand - in honor of the Apostles sharing their memory of the very words of Christ.

‼️ June 11, the bishops of the United States will consecrate our nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus during their Spring Plenary Assembly in Orlando, Florida.

This takes place during the 250th anniversary year of the Declaration of Independence.

But what does that actually mean?

Consecration means freely placing ourselves under the care and kingship of Jesus Christ. It is a public act of trust. As Catholics, we believe Christ is Lord not only of individuals, but also of families, communities, and nations.

❤️ And you can participate from home.

📺 Watch the consecration live:
4:00 PM ET / 3:00 PM CT / 2:00 PM MT / 1:00 PM PT

The Sacred Heart of Jesus reminds us of Christ's real and personal love for every human person. Through the private revelations received by St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, this devotion spread throughout the Church as an invitation to trust Jesus more deeply and respond to His love. The Church encourages this devotion while teaching that private revelations do not add to the deposit of faith.

Many Catholics are also drawn to the promises associated with devotion to the Sacred Heart, shared through the private revelations received by St. Margaret Mary Alacoque:

➜ I will give them all the graces necessary for their state in life.
➜ I will establish peace in their homes.
➜ I will comfort them in all their afflictions.
➜ I will be their secure refuge during life, and above all, in death.
➜ I will bestow abundant blessings upon all their undertakings.
➜ Sinners will find in My Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
➜ Lukewarm souls shall become fervent.
➜ Fervent souls shall quickly rise to great perfection.
➜ I will bless every place in which an image of My Heart is exposed and honored.
➜ I will give priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
➜ Those who spread this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart.
➜ In the excess of the mercy of My Heart, I promise that My all-powerful love will grant to those who receive Holy Communion on the First Fridays for nine consecutive months the grace of final perseverance; they shall not die in My displeasure or without receiving the sacraments, and My Heart shall be their secure refuge in that last hour.

So how can you take part on June 11?

➜ Attend Mass if you're able.
➜ Go to Confession.
➜ Make a personal or family Act of Consecration.
➜ Pray before an image of the Sacred Heart.
➜ Offer prayers for our nation, our leaders, and those who have fallen away from the faith.

Many of us want God to bless our nation. But have we invited Him to reign in our own hearts?

This consecration isn't just about America. It's also an invitation to surrender our own lives more completely to Christ.

🇺🇸❤️ Will you be joining in prayer?

Most Catholics know about the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

But many don't realize that this coming week gives us a rare opportunity to reflect on all three hearts of the Holy Family together.

June 12 ❤️ Sacred Heart of Jesus
June 13 🤍 Immaculate Heart of Mary
June 17 💛 Chaste Heart of St. Joseph

When I look at these three devotions, I see three things the world desperately needs right now.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus reminds us that God's mercy is bigger than our sins. Christ doesn't stop loving people because they fail. He calls them to repentance and offers them the grace to begin again.

The Immaculate Heart of Mary reminds us what trust looks like. Mary did not always understand everything God was doing, but she remained faithful. She teaches us to keep saying yes to God even when life is painful or confusing.

Then there is St. Joseph.

His heart teaches something our culture often overlooks: holiness does not require attention. Joseph never recorded a single word in Scripture, yet God entrusted him with protecting Jesus and Mary. His life shows us that faithfulness matters more than recognition.

Maybe that's why these three devotions fit together so well.

Jesus teaches us mercy.
Mary teaches us trust.
Joseph teaches us faithfulness.

And honestly, most of us need all three.

As these feast days approach, take a moment to ask yourself where you need to grow most. Do you need more trust? More mercy? More faithfulness?

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph, protect us.

💬 If you had to choose just one, which heart speaks to your life the most right now?

The choir in the Sagrada Família is putting on the performance of a lifetime.

The vocals perfectly complement the stunning visuals of Gaudí’s cathedral!

Likely, this was the video that got The Chief exorcist of Washington Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, to be fired. Sad

Just listen. And retweet

St. Monica prayed for her son for 17 years while he lived in sin, sired a child out of wedlock, and chased every new age philosophy under the sun. Nothing changed. Until it did: St. Augustine became a bishop & doctor of the Church. Never underestimate a mother's prayers.
