Pope establishes World Day for 
Grandparents & the Elderly

This year begins its celebration on the 4th Sunday of July, 
close to the liturgical memorial of 
Saints Joachim and Anne, Jesus' grandparents.

Why? The Holy Father said, 
“Grandparents are often forgotten, 
and we forget this wealth of preserving roots and 
passing on” what the elderly have received."

The elderly “remind us that old age is a gift
and that grandparents are the link between the different generation,
to pass on to the young the experience of life.”

To incentivize the day, the Pope permitted granting a plenary indulgence, under the usual conditions.

CAN WE PROVE GOD EXISTS?

Why should there be such doubt—such confusion—
about the existence of God? 

For thousands of years, people have debated His existence. 
Most conclude that it cannot be proven—one way or the other. 

Some become agnostics, 
asserting that they “don’t know” if God exists. 
Atheists conclude that God does not exist. 
These people represent a special category that 
God describes as, 
“The fool has said in his heart, There is no God” (Psalm 14:1). 
This scripture is repeated in Psalm 53:1. 

Why is this question important today? 
Current research shows that a majority of our children 
opt out of believing in God around age 13!

What is happening in our culture to lead them to this conclusion?

PRAYER FOR YOUR 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATIONS! 

We certainly have experienced anti-gospel rhetoric from 
our culture during the pandemic. 

To help us maneuver our mindset through this,
Mother Teresa offers good advice.
Her poem keeps us centered 
on our relationship with God 
when the world around us 
is spiraling out of control!
 

SACRED HEART OF JESUS

This month is devoted to the 
Sacred Heart of Jesus!

As we enter the final weekend in June,
we offer special traditional prayers 
prayed by Catholics for decades!

What is the history behind this devotion?

Jesus presented the Sacred Heart devotion to
St. Margaret Mary Alacoque 
during four visions in 1673-1675. 

St. Margaret Mary recalls:

“My Divine Master revealed to me that it was 
His ardent desire
to be known, loved and honored by men, and 
His eager desire 
to draw them back from the road to perdition, 
along which satan is driving them in countless numbers,

that induced Him 
to manifest His Heart to men 
with all the treasures of 
love, mercy, grace, sanctification and salvation 
that It contains.”

To help you answer Christ’s call to you 
for devotion to His Sacred Heart, and to 
combat the darkness, 
contorted truths, and suffering
satan is injecting into our culture,
