Private Revelation

Part 19: In the next entry of his new weekly series on the Sacred Heart, Dr. Robert Stackpole discusses the contributions of Servant of God Sr. Josefa Menendez (1890-1923) to the devotion to the Sacred Heart, as well as to the Church's understanding of Divine Mercy.

Part 9: In this ninth entry of a new weekly series on the Sacred Heart, Dr. Robert Stackpole shares some of the private revelations given to St. Gertrude the Great (1256-1302) on the power and the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Dr. Stackpole tackles misunderstandings about the Church's official stance toward St. Faustina's revelations.

One reader asks whether St. Faustina's Diary and the revelations it records are on par with Lourdes and Fatima in the mind of the Church's highest authorities.
