St Martin Magazine - June 2024

この問題で

June is the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart and our Editor recalls a poignant memory which demonstrated the importance of the Sacred Heart lamp in the Irish family home. It Happened This Month looks at the apparitions of Our Lord to Margaret Mary Alacoque between 1673 and 1675 in Paray le Monial. Ray Hughes tells us why his favourite hymn, fittingly, is ‘Sweet Heart of Jesus’. In Echoes Pat Hope harks back to a nostalgic time before texting when sending postcards was a necessary part of holiday activities. Augustus Pugin, the man who designed London’s iconic Big Ben is our convert to Catholicism. Fr Colm Mannion uses an event in the life of holocaust survivor Simon Wiesenthal to examine the nature of forgiveness. We have an update on the National Shrine of St Martin. Thank you for your generosity! In Friends of Saint Martin, you can read about the All-Ireland Rosary rally taking place in Knock on Saturday 1 June. Saint Martin Apostolate will be in attendance, and we would love to see you there. We will also have First Class Relics of St Martin and other Dominican saints on display.
