• C&SI - The Sign of God's Love - the Sacred Heart of Jesus - 22 June 2025 (S05E30b) (podcast excerpt)

  On this week's programme we dip into the archive to share our discussion from June 2019 with Fr. Donal Neary S.J., then Editor of The Sacred Heart Messenger, who speaks to us about the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and about The Sacred Heart Messenger. This year marks the 350th anniversary of the  appearance of Jesus to Sr Margaret Mary with the message to share about his Sacred Heart. We revisit our chat withh Fr Donal who reflects on the devotion to the Sacred Heart which goes back to the scene at Calvary when a sword pierced the Heart of Jesus. From the 17th Century the devotion to the Sacred Heart became more widespread after Sr Margaret Mary Alacoque had visions where Jesus showed her is heart that beats for everyone and loves everyone of us. The devotion to the Sacred Heart was very much part of people’s lives when they were unable to attend Mass. Fr Donal speaks of the Sacred Heart as that of a friend. Both the 1st Friday devotion & the ‘Holy Hour’ came about as a result of devotion to the Sacred Heart.Fr Donal also spoke to us about the Sacred Heart Messenger of which he was the editor. In 1858 Fr James Cullen started an ‘Apostleship of prayer’ magazine and from this beginning the Sacred Heart Messenger came about. With a monthly circulation of 45,000 copies, 80% of which sold through promoters, the magazine contains inspirational articles which support readers on their faith journey. As the cover of the magazine quotes – A modern message in a much-loved tradition.

• C&SI - Limericks Favourite Icon - Our Lady of Perpetual Help - 8 June 2025 (S05E28b) (podcast excerpt)

  Summer is supposed to be here although you wouldn't know it from the weather, the national exams have started, local festivals are kicking off and parents are strategizing how to keep children occupied over the summer as they count down the days to the end of the school year. So as it is the start of the month of June in Limerick it must mean it is close to the annual celebration of faith which is Limerick's Solemn Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. In our podcast excerpt this week we are joined by Fr Laurence Gallagher who is the lead for the Redemptorist's parish missions in Ireland. He joins with John this week to shares the symbolism and meaning behind the Icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. He tells us  about the history of the familiar icon, the connection of the icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help to Limerick and also gives us details of this year's novena in Limerick from 13th to 21st June. Text us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
