Acquiring the Taste of Heaven
Lent is the great season of acquiring better tastes. We let go of some good but lesser things, in order to increase our hunger for even better things—and for God himself.

Lent is the great season of acquiring better tastes. We let go of some good but lesser things, in order to increase our hunger for even better things—and for God himself.

When I reflect on the image of the Sacred Heart, I realize that, at a first glance, it is not such a warm image. After all, it is a bleeding heart, punctured and surrounded by a crown of thorns.

Jesus communicates with a staggering and perhaps unsettling clarity what the call of discipleship looks like in a world of winners and losers, powerful and weak, haves and have-nots. The sick, the impoverished, the imprisoned, the foreigner don’t only need aid from those who can help, but . . .
We believe in the power of lay Catholics to reach every corner of the world with the good news of Jesus. Through their generous apostolic prayer and support, donors partner with us to spread the mission to more and more communities.
