The international website of the Daughters of Charity celebrates the Sacred Heart this month. (The image of Louise’s devotion to the Sacred Heart is taken from an altar piece in a Vincentian Parish in Bratislava courtesy of the Vincentian Image Archive at dePaul.)
They write that Focus On will present the life of one of our Sisters in two sections. Sister Gabriella Borgarino was from Italy and was very devoted to the Sacred Heart.
“Our Media section will be a meditative presentation of some of the words of Sister Gabriella. Many young people throughout the world are making preparations to go to Brazil for an Encounter with other Vincentian Youth and then go on to World Youth Day.
“Besides praying with our Youth, the meeting of the African Visitatrixes and for the unification of Provinces in 3 different parts of the world this month, we also call to mind those who are living in precarious situations and facing difficulties whether from situations of poverty or living with the dangers of war or natural disasters.
“Let us ask the Sacred Heart of Jesus to pour out His love on all those who are suffering in any way!
