retreat with the Eucharistic
Heart.
I am on fire, burning with the desire to love
God
and to bring
others to love Him." - Bl Dina

“The Eucharist strikes such
fire within us
that
we are
compelled by our actions and our
presence
to warm the people we live among
and to melt the ice of hate, discrimination,
indifference, injustice and isolation.

St Sebastian, Captain of the
Praetorian Guard of the Roman Emperor, was condemned to death for professing his
Faith. He was shot with arrows and left for dead, but when the widow of St.
Castulus went to recover his body, she found he was still alive and nursed him
back to health. Soon after, Sebastian intercepted the Emperor Diocletian,
denounced him for his cruelty to Christians, but was beaten to death on the
Emperor’s orders.
