TAKE FIVE FOR FAITH: Daily renewal for busy Catholics Monday, August 19 MEMORIAL OF JOHN EUDES, PRIEST Listen to your heart You often find depictions of Saint John Eudes with the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. His devotion and dedication to these hearts stem from one of the central themes of his writings: “Jesus as the source of holiness and Mary as the model of the Christian life.” Pope Benedict XVI said that Saint John Eudes “wanted to recall people, men and women . . . to the heart by showing them the priestly Heart of Christ and the motherly Heart of Mary.” Saint John Eudes’ heart led him to focus on the formation of diocesan clergy. Where is your heart—and those of Jesus and Mary—leading you this day?
