Episode 15 of the "Sacred Time, Sacred Rhythm" video series from The Peyton Institute for Domestic Church Life focuses on the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

For family life to flourish, the center must be the Two Hearts — the Heart of Jesus and the Heart of Mary. The Two Hearts are not separate but rather they are united in love. Jesus’ Heart gives grace. Mary’s Heart receives and returns it.

And even science offers us a small sign of this mystery — that when people are close, attentive, and connected, their hearts can begin to beat in rhythm together.

 

 

This video series, "Sacred Time, Sacred Rhythm," invites you to explore the sacredness of time and the sweet, life-giving rhythm contained within the prayers and worship of the Catholic Church. We will reveal how the liturgical calendar impacts our daily and family life. We pray this journey will awaken your prayer life by cultivating small habits of sacred moments.
 
May God continue to bless you and your family.
