| Archbishop after horrid attack |
In a solemn ceremony yesterday evening, Archbishop Andre Joseph Leonard, Primate of Belgium, consecrated the Belgian Provinces to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, celebrated Mass in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Brussels after which he led a holy hour of Eucharistic Adoration during which confession was available.
Unfortunately I could not understand his homily but I understand that
Archbp Leonard has a great devotion to the Mass and has especially promoted prayers and sacrifice to heal the hearts of men and woman through the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
He has been a courageous real leader in the areas of life, marriage and family and has attracted many to the priesthood and religious life by his witness to the priestly vocation.
The Archbishop has been viciously attacked in the media but also in person, food thrown at him, doused with water, etc. He just prays for his attackers.
I spoke to people at the consecration and they were all telling me of their love for this humble prelate and that he has been a great gift to the Church in Belgium
Pray for him.
God bless
