Fr. Matthew MacDonald on No Sinner Being Out of Reach of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

"When one goes to the outskirts of the city of Rome along the Via Laurentina, one finds two significant sites that are reminders of the power of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The first site is the Trappist Monastery of Tre Fontane that houses three churches - the most famous of which being the Church of St. Paul at Tre Fontane. This Church marks the spot where the great persecutor-turned-Apostle to the Gentiles, was beheaded by the Romans for the glory of Our Lord and the sake of the Gospel.

"Around the corner from this shrine, another Saul-like persecutor had his own a Paul-like conversion through the merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the intercession of Our Lady. This 'Saul' was Bruno Cornacchiola, a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church and a Roman trolley driver. Cornacchiola's story includes some notable apparitions of the Blessed Virgin, under the title of Our Lady of Revelation in Tre Fontane."

In a recent commentary, Father Matthew MacDonald reflected on the significance of the converion of
Bruno Cornacchiola.
