Sunday Sermon, June 16 -- St Lutgarde and the Sacred Heart; and the Mustard Seed

 St Lutgarde (feast is June 16) was born in 1182 and died in 1246. She is the first saint known to have had an explicit devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She also is the first to have received the Stigmata (over a decade before St Francis of Assisi).

We consider how her life inspires us to devotion.

Finally, we give a brief commentary on how the Church is the mustard seed - though she will become very small in the modern world, she will grow again to a mighty tree.
