                      LOUISIANA
   THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
                            2026














   
   

 

 

 

 

 

​​

 THANK YOU USCCB FOR RESPONDING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT!

​​

   Consecration of the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on Friday, June 12, 2026 (19 days after Pentecost in 2026)!  As per the USCCB website, to see the prayer to consecrate America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, please click here

​

   Attention Louisiana!  After the previous 25 years of preparing, we must now "triple-down" to continue to prepare for that day!  America greatly needs that consecration and the power that will result from it, as the Church moves toward the Jubilee Year and Pentecost 2033!

​
  This is the prayer that was actually prayed, by Louisiana Catholics (and others), on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 2020, at the headwaters of the "great river" at Lake Itasca, MN, when Holy Water (gathered from many venues) was poured at that location.

​

   Note:  At the same time, faithful Catholics and other Christians, across the "heart" of America, were also pouring Holy Water into many of the numerous rivers that lead into the "great river" startomg at 3:33 pm Central Time!  The 2020 prayer continues to be prayed to this day!  With the upcoming June 12th date in mind, let us "triple down" in praying it!  Praise God!  Hail to Our Lady!  

 

  Good fruit!   The prayer request made in 2020, by that prayer, with respect to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is coming to fruition on June 12, 2026!

​​

 More good fruit!   Jesus Christ, began to spread His Love, in person, across America from East to West and from North to South, on Pentecost weekend of 2024, as He began to personally travel the roads of America by virtue of the Eucharistic Pilgrimages (below)!

   Want to read much more about what led up to, and what happened at Lake Itasca on that liturgical day in 2020 and 2001, please go here.

   Note of interest:  At the same exact location at Lake Itasca, MN, where the Holy Water was poured, is where the Marian Route of the Eucharistic Pilgrimage began on Pentecost, 2024.  This is certainly not a coincidence!  

​

   So much is tied to that "great river", and its history, and the rivers that flow into it, and then flow southerly through the "heart" of America to build the most recent Modern Delta of Louisiana.  The most southerly "naturally-built" land from that river is where this website is published - the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux!  A land at the very end of that river.  

​​

   Much of the "Louisiana Sacred Story" is about that river, and the land that river built, and the anointing that is expected to continue to come from Louisiana, as the Church heads toward the Jubilee Year of the of 2033, and Pentecost 2033, on June 5th of that year

           What a "promised and new time" we are moving into!

                              Come, Holy Spirit!

     Even in these "Jubilee" times, Jesus Still Cries for America!
 

   South Louisiana "cries" for America with Him!   We also loudly "cry out" and remind, any that will listen, that on the Feast of the Annunciation (in 2024 on April 8th), Our Lady undoubtedly gave America a very serious "Nineveh-type announcement/warning" for Life that should not have been missed...but has been mostly missed! 

​

   To this day, a large part of America has tried to find all sorts of legal and medical ways to circumvent around, and to avoid, supporting Life from the Mother's womb, to the elderly's tomb...and all points in between!  America has yet to fully obey Her in such matters!  That places a heavy burden of guilt on America!  We will not escape the penalty for that.  

​​​​​​

   It was the same sort of "Life" message She gave in Mexico approximately 500 years ago!  Her Children, of those days, listened to Her!  In 2024, She used the real sun and moon in the heavenlies, as signs to us in the sky, to try and get America's attention to the serious issues of Life.  America continues to refuse to fully listen and obey Her!  To see more details about all that, please click here.

   Absolutely, no question about it, only God knows the hour and the day of His coming (Matthew 24:36-44)!  At the same time, we are still required to hear, listenk and discern the signs, as stated in the Gospel reading of November 25, 2025 (Luke 21:5-11), but especially in verse 11, where it is proclaimed: 
11 There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.


   Adding to that gospel instruction, one can certainly discern the signs of these times, during this "time of grace", by using some level of experience and wisdom, as explained in Luke 12:54-56:

54 He also said to the crowds, “When you see [a] cloud rising in the west you say immediately that it is going to rain—and so it does;

55 and when you notice that the wind is blowing from the south you say that it is going to be hot—and so it is.

56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky; why do you not know how to interpret the present time?

​

Our Lady of Medjugorje's message dated November 25, 2025:

“Dear children! In this time of grace, I am calling you to follow me. Pray for those who do not pray and do not want peace and joy, which only the Most High can give. May your souls be united in the joy of expectancy and your heart will be filled with peace. You will be convinced, little children, that all will be good and that God will bless all; because the good that you give will return to you, and joy will enfold your heart because you are with God and in God. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

 

   In specifically responding to Her Motherly November, 2025 message, let us:

Follow Her!

Pray for those who do not want peace and joy!

Be united in the joy of expectancy!

Be convinced, that all will be good and that God will bless all!

Only give good!

Be with God and in God!

​

    Louisiana also prays for the Glorious Return of Her Son, Jesus!

                    "The Light" returns into this dark world!

   â€‹

CHAPTER CLOSING:

​

   Make a First Friday pilgrimage!  If you are anywhere near St. Francis de Sales Cathedral, in Houma, LA, at 4:00 pm, on any First Friday of the month, you are welcome to join the Cathedral's parishioners (and others) in honoring the Sacred Heart of Jesus (as they have been assembling for two years in doing).

​

For more on the cathedral's First Friday itinerary, please click here.

​

   Note:  This unique cathedral is erected upon the most southerly land built "naturally" by the "great river", since from about the times of the Annunciation and Jesus' birth - approximately 2,000 years ago.  A land that is the natural composition of the best lands northerly of it, since the birth of Jesus!  Land that has been transferred by waters relocating the "good earth" from the 31 states and into Canada northerly of it!  Land that is from "the "Heart" of America

​

   Prayerfully remember the Random Acts of Faith in 2001 and in 2020, and so many others, as we head toward June 12, 2026 - always keeping an eye on the upcoming Jubilee Year of 2033

  

​​​​​​

   To confirm God's providential "goodness" in all the above, the civil parish this cathedral is domiciled in was named "Terrebonne Parish" in 1822... and that is translated as, "Good Earth"!  Thank you Lord!  

                (Chapter I gets into all the above in great detail.)  

​​​​​​​​

   This same cathedral is the "seat" of the new "good" Bishop of Houma-Thibodaux (Bishop Simon Peter Engurait).  Bishop Engurait is the first African-born bishop assigned to a diocese in the mainland of America, since this country began.  To see more about him, please click here.  

​​​​

   While in Houma, please also consider making a pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Compassionate Protection on the southerly side of the city.  This is the location where Our Lady was claimed to have appeared to a local man in response to the prayer of his wife at that same cathedral on March 17, 1996. 

 

   Masses are celebrated at that shrine each 17th of the month since that appearance.  More about the 1996 appearance, and what happened after it, can be found by clicking on these links produced by: 

               Cajun Miracles Podcast:       Part 1       Part 2      Part 3

​​​​​​​​​​

   Interestingly, that shrine is the same location where the Sixth Glorious Mystery began on May 17, 1998.

​​​

   On May 17, 2000, at that shrine, there were events that took place connected to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  Click here to read a little about that miraculous healing encounter. 

​​​​

   To remember that May 17th event, in May of 2012, a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was placed at the exact location, at the shrine, where the small statue was dug up in 2000.  It was placed there to honor that healing event and to testify to the power of having a personal devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

​​​​​​​​​

   On August 18, 2021, with the sad state of America at that time (while America and His Church were "living" a real "Dark Winter"), photographs were taken at that statue, at the shrine, by a visiting pilgrim.  These images clearly showed a "grieving" Jesus crying tears!  To see those images, please click here.  There can be little doubt that He is still crying for America!  It is hoped that this upcoming Consecration on June 12, 2026 is a sign of America seriously turning to Him!  The Church thanks the USCCB, for their  allowing that body to be led by the Holy Spirit, to declare this Consecration! 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

   In all things, the Holy Spirit will give us every sign needed to move in concert with His Holy and Divine Will.  Certainly to move in the fullness of the Divine Will is to allow Jesus to bring you to The Father!  To see what living in the Divine Will might have to say about that, please click here.

​​

   With that stated, and before closing this chapter dedicated to Louisiana and its devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, it would be very appropriate to now cite a few sentences from the approved messages given by God, The Father to Mother Eugenia Elisabetta Ravasio

 

   In Part II of those messages, that began on August 12, 1932, under the pontificate of Pope Pius XI, The Father stated:

  I communicated to My Vicar, the Supreme Pontiff, My Representative on earth, a very special prediliction for the missionary apostalate in distant countries and, most of all, a great zeal to spread throughout the world the devotion to the Sacred Heart of My Son Jesus.  Now I am entrusting him with the work that this same Jesus came on earth to accomplish: to glorify Me by making Me known as I am, just as I am telling all men, My creatures and children.

   If men could penetrate the Heart of Jesus in all Its desires and Its glory, they would realize that Its most ardent desire is to glorify the Father, the One Who sent Him, and, most of all, not to let His glory be diminished as it has been until now.  He desires the complete glory that men can and must give Me, as their Father and Maker, and still more as the Author of their Redemption!

   To read those approved messages "The Father Speaks to His Children", please click here.         

           â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹

Pope Pius XI ( the named "His Vicar" at the time) wrote two encyclicals on the Sacred Heart of Jesus (click on either to read it):
