The Law Written on Your Heart

"This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord. I will place my law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they will be my people." (Jeremiah 31:33) Happy Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus!

The Natural Law is in Our Hearts

Don't give up; good things still happen! God really does "cast down the mighty from their thrones and lift up the lowly."

"Seventy years ago it was against the law to dispense birth control devices or medicines. Planned Parenthood set up shop in the Chase Clinic here in Waterbury to dispense contraceptives. The Priests of the City of Waterbury had a meeting and drafted a letter to be read at all the Masses in the City the next day. As it happened, the District Attorney for the City of Waterbury attended the 10:00 Mass in Saint Margaret’s Church. The next day he met with his staff and by the end of the week, the Birth Control Clinic in Waterbury and 11 others around the State were closed." -From the Rector's column of the bulletin of The Basilica of the Immaculate Conception on Sunday, June 7, A.D. 2009

It was only seventy years ago and society was still morally good enough -- at least in one part of the world -- to follow Jesus, and the civil laws were still based on the natural law. Caesar and the Pope working together; miracles can happen!

Father Thomas Euteneuer will be present at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Waterbury during the weekend of June 19-21, to help commemorate this event. Furthermore, June 19 is the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, and June 20 the Solemnity of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever!
