It’s a tradition of Catholics to honor our God in different ways each month. The month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Perhaps it’s not a coincidence that the secular world celebrates much of what is contrary to Jesus’ humble heart in the same month.
Our goal is to help spread awareness of Jesus’ heart and immense love to all – so that anyone who yearns for His truth and goodness, can find it a little easier.
A group of bloggers from our community took time to write blog posts about the Sacred Heart and offer resources to help you grow in faith. Here are some of those articles and resources.

Lots of Spoiler Alerts ahead – if you have not seen it and don’t want the story spoiled DO NOT READ THIS!!!
We Don’t Talk About Bruno . . .I can not get this song out of my head (We don’t talk about Bruno).
I finally watched this movie. It’s great. I love it. As the author of the Be Yourself Journal, I immediately connected with the lead character who wondered who she was and what was her gift.
But something happened within days of me seeing this movie – my husband showed me a meme that led me to research Saint Bruno.
“Poor Bruno gets stuck with a bad reputation due to his gift of vision of future events. People go to him to get questions about their future answered, but turn against him when they don’t like what he sees. How does this relate to our faith?”
The character Bruno from the movie Encanto bares some similarities to the Catholic Saint Bruno. From seeing a possible vision of the future, to leaving a life in a busy community to a life of solitude, and to possibly, being misunderstood, we can use this Disney creation to look at and talk about Saint Bruno.
We don’t often want to talk about what Saint Bruno held as extremely important, but perhaps . . . we should.

Do you often find yourself confessing the same sins over and over again?
Do you just keep making the same New Year’s Resolutions?
You are not alone.
And although “misery loves company”; you may also be happy to hear some people have risen above these frustrations with the help of Jesus, and they want to help you rise above them too.
Whether you are putting “self-improvement” on your Christmas list this year, hoping to have a Catholic New Year’s Resolution or you simply want to grow in God’s grace this Advent; we believe one of these works will help you reach your goal and nurture your relationship with Christ.
Many feel frustrated when they go to confession and say the same sins again and again.
Bless me Father for I . . . am not loving my spouse enough, I act selfish when I do this that and the other, I am lukewarm in my faith, I neglect spiritual and primary duties . . . you could probably add something to this list, couldn’t you?
We believe that God put us in a community to help us rise up against what prevents us to grow closer to Him. Some people have overcome great odds, and want to help you rise above what challenges you too.
Here are some resources that we hope will help you overcome a spiritual battle you are fighting right now.

Pink Salt Riot has one! The Pink Salt Riot Teacher Bundle is purposefully curated for the educator in your life! However Pink Salt Riot has several other bundles that would also make great Teacher gifts!
Veteran teacher Amy J. Cattapan invites you to look to the greatest teacher of all time—Jesus. With humor and stories from the trenches, Cattapan draws valuable insight and tools from the Gospels and shares ten life-changing principles every teacher can learn from Jesus. In Sweet Jesus, Is It June Yet?, she’ll help you hang onto your sanity and fulfill your calling even when you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and on the verge of burnout.
Classroom burnout is real. About 44 percent of new teachers in New York leave the profession by their fourth year and 40 percent of new teachers leave Chicago schools within five years. All over the country, managing online instruction has only added to the pressures teachers face.
In order to combat frustration and burnout, Cattapan will help you:
remember where your calling began;
rediscover who this is all about;
know when to lean on others for help;
learn how Jesus dealt with challenges; and
understand that God’s grace really is enough.
Whether you’re a brand new teacher, a veteran educator, or a homeschooling parent, you’ll find wisdom—and more than a few laughs—in Cattapan’s reflections on the Great Teacher and in classroom stories straight from the front lines.
