30 Day Retreat Sacred Heart Day 8   🔸 Monday Night at the Movies- June 2026 – Prophets & Pilgrims Prophecy in June is a pilgrimage through the Church’s feasts. These films follow the soul from guilt to purification, from conscience to renunciation, and finally to a vocation lived in motion. Each week’s feast sharpens the film’s meaning and reveals a different face of the prophet’s call. Jun 1 – The Informer (1935) St. Justin Martyr A prophet begins in the ruins of his own failure. Gypo’s betrayal and collapse mirror Justin’s insistence on truth: falsehood destroys, repentance clarifies. Jun 8 – Stromboli (1950) Sacred Heart / Immaculate Heart Karin’s volcanic exile becomes purification. As the Hearts of Jesus and Mary burn with love, Stromboli burns away pride and forces a reckoning with God. Jun 15 – A Man for All Seasons (1966) St. Barnabas Barnabas stands firm in the Spirit; Thomas More does the same. Here the pilgrimage becomes confrontation — conscience refusing to bo...

  30 Day Retreat Sacred Heart Day 7 Smoke in This Life and Not the Next Sun, May 31 — Trinity Sunday Virtue: Mystery & Memory Cigar: Oscuro Bourbon: Knob Creek 12 Reflection: “What mystery do I honor in remembrance?” St. Teresa says the soul reaches for God and is pushed back by justice.

Joy is the soul’s instinct for holiness. Ask who breathes easier when you walk in — and whether they meet Christ or only you. THE PALEFACE (1948) Bob Hope • Ja...

  Smoke in This Life Not the Next Sat, June 6 — First Saturday (Immaculate Heart) Virtue: Shelter & Intercession Cigar: Mild, maternal (Connecticut) Bourbon: Larceny Small Batch — soft, enduring Reflection: Whose sorrow do I carry with Mary? Mary’s Heart is the shelter where sorrow becomes intercession. On this First Saturday, I take up one grief — mine or another’s — and place it inside her Heart, where tenderness becomes strength and wounds become prayer. Purgatory reminds me that love must be purified. Better to smoke in this life than the next. Let the burn of repentance happen now, not later. Immaculate Heart of Mary, teach me whose sorrow I am meant to carry today.
