So few processions of the Sacred Heart today. In theory, Vat. II promoted public displays of the Catholic Faith; but in reality they removed the pure true doctrine that was the source, the foundation of all these processions etc. They said one thing, but acted contrary-
wise.
In the 1400s they had the first Procession of the Holy Name of Jesus, for deliverance from the PLAGUE...Alas, June 2026 - BINGoh!! the world is witness to another type of plague...
Excerpt: 15 th Century
"...Second, citizens of Lisbon held the first Holy Name procession in gratitude for the Holy Name devotion, which saved them from plague. Also during this century, there were many saints who glorified the Holy Name of Jesus, and spread devotion to it. St. Bernardine of Siena gained great renown as a promoter of the devotion in Italy, writing that "the name of Jesus is the glory of preachers, because the shining splendor of that Name causes His WORD to be proclaimed and heard."

About this statue: In January a neighbour gave me this statue of the Sacred Heart; he thought it was an angel - he is prot. It was a sort of Christmas present.
But there is a story behind this statue. It was made about 70 years ago in a small town ceramic shop.
A relative of his actually made these statues when people were more Catholic, and sold them after the terrible WWII... The parents divorced and the man remarried, which is adultery as Jesus said...then the son inherited the statue 1980s, but he was of the rainbow type. He died 2 years ago.
I got Fr. S. of the Resistance to bless it in late January ! Deo gratias+
Today is gloomy, raining.
"...From Thy wrath, Jesus, deliver us..."
