In this episode of Franciscan Fridays at the Shrine, Brother Pius and Father Luke reflect on the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary — exploring vulnerability, suffering, healing, intimacy with God, and the spiritual meaning of Christ’s pierced heart.

They discuss:
✦ The Sacred Heart of Jesus
✦ The Immaculate Heart of Mary
✦ Fatima and Marian devotion
✦ The Presentation in the Temple
✦ Simeon’s prophecy to Mary
✦ Vulnerability and healing
✦ How God enters our wounds
✦ Catholic spirituality and devotion
✦ Pope Francis, Pope Pius XII, and St. Bonaventure

This conversation is a powerful reflection on how our own broken hearts can become places of grace, healing, and deeper union with Christ.
