The Sacred Heart of Jesus in Shalom spirituality
In this month of June, which is devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Catholic Church, Daniel Ramos, current Local Responsible of Shalom Catholic Community in Toulon told us about how the devotion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is lived in Shalom Catholic Community spirituality. “Shalom Catholic Community adores and venerates the sacred heart of Jesus. The Community, in its spirituality, contemplates and adores the heart of Jesus, resurrected and opened. Jesus’ heart is not only adored on the top of the Cross as a lifeless heart from which flows water and blood. Certainly, we cannot separate Jesus’ resurrection from his passion, we cannot separate what has been united in the heart of Christ, that is the ...

Shalom showed me that I am a child of God
My name is Javier Francisco Kovacs Benitez. I’m 32 years old, and I’m a pride Paraguayan! I was raised as a Catholic since I was a kid and although my family broke up when I was a child, I became quite involved with the church while attending school, but this dramatically changed when I was about 18 years old. When I started the University, I completely turned away from God, the Church and all that comes with it. I began to make my life and taking my decisions by letting the world influence me, completely ignoring what God had for me and what He wanted from me. I was like any other young man in search of happiness throughout professional ...

Why is the Holy Mass SO Powerful?
At the hour of death the Holy Masses you have heard devoutly will be your greatest consolation. Every Mass will go with you to Judgment and will plead for pardon for you. By every Mass you can diminish the temporal punishment due to your sins, more or less, according to your fervor. By devoutly assisting at Holy Mass you render the greatest homage possible to the Sacred Humanity of Our Lord. … Through the Holy Sacrifice, Our Lord Jesus Christ supplies for many of your negligences and omissions. He forgives you all the venial sins which you are determined to avoid. He forgives you all your unknown sins which you never confessed. The power of Satan over you is diminished. ...

Pentecost Joy – Fr Raniero Cantalamessa
On Sunday June 4 we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Feast of Pentecost. Pentecost wasn’t and isn’t a once only event but rather a perennial one in which we can expect to receive a fresh and new outpouring of the Holy Spirit – a new Pentecost, if you will. Fr Raniero Cantalamessa, the Preacher to the Papal Household, leads us in a reflection on this great feast of the Church – the doorway through which we enter into the fullness and joy of the Christian life. The account of the coming of the Holy Spirit in the Acts of the Apostles begins with these words: ‘When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together ...

Today I want to tell you about God! What does Dory have to do with God? I’ll explain it. For those who know her, Dory suffers from short term memory loss, that is, within seconds you forget all that she has done, heard, said or experienced. And it’s precisely this characteristic to make her an even more comical ...

7 Edith Stein quotes every woman should read
Edith Stein was always an over-achiever. Born in Germany in 1891, and eventually known by her religious name, St. Teresa Benedicta, Stein could have been expected to lead a quiet life out of the public eye — since women at the time were offered a significantly smaller number of roles to play in society than men. Instead, she chose to blaze a new path and follow her true vocation, which led her first into a highly respected philosophy program at the University of Gottingen, then to teaching schoolchildren and converting to the Catholic faith, and finally to entering a Carmelite monastery. Stein’s fascinating life was cut short when she was martyred in a German death camp during the World War II, but ...
