FEAST OF ST ROMUALD, ABBOT AND FOUNDER.

FEAST OF ST ROMUALD, ABBOT.

WHERE IS YOUR SECURITY? 

"Jesus said to his disciples: 

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal. 

But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal.

 For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be."

 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light; but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be in darkness.

 And if the light in you is darkness, how great will the darkness be.” (Matthew 6: 19 - 23).

Friday 19th June 2026 in 11th Week in Ordinary Time is the feast of St Romuald, Abbot, hermit and founder of a religious congregation. 

St Romuald was born in Ravenna, Italy. St. 

Romuald founded the Camaldolese order and reformed monasteries and hermitages in Italy.

 A Benedictine monk, he is renowned for his love and expertise in solitary prayer.

 He traveled all over Italy renewing Benedictine monasteries in the art of monastic prayer. He died in 1027.

Who is your security? Our Gospel of today asks. 

 Where is your security?

Our Gospel today gives us a great opportunity to reflect on this great question and with the help and grace of the Sacred Heart of Jesus 

and our diligence, we will become convinced that our security lies in Jesus alone.

Consider these great necessities in life. Think of them as War Zones. 

These are areas where Satan wages war on us day and night.

The Seven War Zones:

1. Health.

2. Family.

3. Money.

4. Job.

5. Possessions.

6. Food.

7. Future.

If Jesus Christ is not your Security in all the above 7-War Zones, consider yourself most insecure.

The Holy Catholic Church honors the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus every June.

"O Jesus, when I see that the plans of the enemy are breaking like waves against the rock of Your Sacred Heart, my soul fills with a deep peace, knowing Your Providence rules over all."

— St. Maria Faustina Kowalska. 

Visualize the

 hostile, chaotic forces of the world—

the spiritual assaults of doubt, the cultural trends of godlessness, and personal anxieties—as roaring, violent ocean waves. 

Now look at the unshakeable rock of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

 No matter how fiercely those waves crash, they are utterly powerless;

 they shatter and break into harmless foam against Him.

 The teleology of these spiritual battles is to demonstrate the absolute supremacy of God's rule.

 Let your soul be filled with the deep, quiet peace of St. Maria Faustina today.

 You do not need to fight the waves; you only need to stand firmly upon the Rock, knowing that Divine Providence actively rules over every storm.

 Prayer:

Sacred Heart of Jesus, unshakeable Rock, be my peace when the storms of life assault me.
