What if one simple act of faith could change the spiritual atmosphere of your home?

On Marriage Unhindered, Doug Hinderer spoke with author Emily Jaminet about the devotion of enthroning the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the home. The practice invites families to place an image of the Sacred Heart in a central place and intentionally dedicate their lives and relationships to Christ.

Emily explained that preparation matters, but perfection does not. She encouraged families not to let feelings of unworthiness stop them from beginning. Whether a household is struggling or thriving, the Sacred Heart devotion is an invitation to deeper love, healing, and trust in Christ.

The conversation also highlighted the importance of making the enthronement a true celebration. Families often gather for prayer, invite friends or parishioners for a meal, and mark the occasion as a joyful commitment to Christ-centered living.

A caller shared how devotion to the Sacred Heart and attending Mass on nine consecutive First Fridays brought many graces to her family. Emily reflected on the “Great Promise” given to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque: that those who faithfully receive Holy Communion on the First Fridays will receive special graces and Christ’s mercy at the hour of death.

As Doug noted, these devotions are not superstition. They are invitations to open our hearts more fully to Jesus and allow His love to transform daily life, marriage, and family relationships.

The Best of the Week

Welcoming the Sacred Heart Into Your Home (Marriage Unhindered)

For many Catholics, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen is remembered as the “TV bishop” whose wit and wisdom captivated millions. But Monsignor Roger Landry says Sheen’s greatest impact may have happened beyond the television screen.

Speaking on The Tim Glemkowski Show, Monsignor Landry reflected on Sheen’s upcoming beatification and the enormous legacy he left behind as a missionary leader, evangelizer, and defender of the Catholic Faith.

“He really took the Church in the United States and helped us to become by far the most generous mission in the world,” Monsignor Landry explained.

During his years leading the Pontifical Mission Societies, Sheen helped American Catholics fund churches, seminaries, convents, and dioceses across the globe. Monsignor Landry shared that one Nigerian seminary, now the largest in the world with more than 700 seminarians, was built largely through Sheen’s efforts and the generosity of American Catholics.

But Sheen’s influence wasn’t only financial. Monsignor Landry believes Sheen also transformed how Catholics were viewed in America. “If Sheen is what it means to be a Catholic, we’ve got nothing to be afraid of,” many non-Catholics began to say.

Today, seminarians around the world still read Sheen’s Life of Christ, and his books and recordings continue supporting missionary work through ongoing royalties.

“My greatest love has always been for the missions of the Church,” Sheen once said. For Monsignor Landry, Sheen’s beatification is a reminder that holiness and evangelization go hand in hand.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s Missionary Legacy Still Shapes the Church (The Tim Glemkowski Show)

Kim from Harlem, Georgia, called Family Rosary Across America with both a heavy heart and a grateful one. She asked Fr. Rocky and the Relevant Radio family to pray for her brother, Jonathan, who recently learned he has a mass on his kidney. Because doctors cannot safely biopsy it, they are recommending removing the kidney. Kim’s prayer was simple and full of faith: that God would completely heal Jonathan and “that the mass would just dissolve back to where it came from.”

But Kim also shared a beautiful praise report. Months earlier, her granddaughter Gwendolyn had struggled with severe night terrors. After the Relevant Radio family prayed for her, everything changed. “Since that time, she has had no night terrors,” Kim said joyfully.

Fr. Rocky remembered the call well and thanked listeners, including “Pete the dentist” and even a prisoner who had been praying for Gwendolyn. “Thanks be to God,” he said.

In one short call, listeners witnessed both the burden of suffering and the power of faithful prayer. It was a reminder that no intention is too small, and no prayer is ever wasted.

From Night Terrors to Healing Prayers (Family Rosary Across America)

Marker 01

Most people hear Jesus say, “Judge not,” and assume Christians should never make judgments. But on Father Simon Says, Fr. Richard Simon explains that Scripture paints a much deeper picture.

Fr. Simon remembered St. Paul’s words, “Do you not know that we will judge angels?” Judgment in the Bible is not merely condemnation. Instead, it is the revelation of truth and, at times, the giving of wise counsel.

“We think of judgment simply in forensic terms,” Fr. Simon says. “But judgment is a statement of truth.”

Drawing from Wisdom chapter three, he describes the souls of the just “darting about like sparks through stubble,” sharing in God’s wisdom and helping others find Him. In this sense, “judging the nations” means offering guidance rooted in truth rather than self-righteous opinions.

Fr. Simon also warns against becoming judgmental people who constantly criticize others. Jesus, he explains, condemns the habit of continual condemnation, not the need for discernment. Christians are still called to judge situations wisely and lovingly.

Fr. Simon shares the story of a priest who briefly died and described judgment not as a courtroom argument, but as seeing himself exactly as God saw him.

“When he saw the truth of his life revealed,” Fr. Simon explains, “he realized he didn’t deserve Heaven at all.”

The reflection becomes a powerful reminder that God’s judgment is ultimately truth illuminated by mercy.
