The Cor Jesu Sacratissimum is the beating Heart of the Church and the World. Yet that truth becomes ever more buried in modernity, with all its materialism, mendacity and meaninglessness.
We, Roger and Kim Buck, a married lay couple, living in the northwest of Ireland, seek to work for Christ in His Church in whatever way we can—as well as a culture rooted in all that is holy, sane and loving. Our effort includes this website, a YouTube channel and writing books, based on our prayer, rumination and hunger for a world restored to Christ.

Video: Tomberg, Monarchy—and the Machine!
Here is my latest episode. It is voice-only this time and, as the title suggests, concerns Valentin Tomberg, Monarchy and our increasingly inhuman society. That said, the title leaves something to be desired as this long (two and a half hour!) episode is something of a ‘patchwork’ of many elements, taking in quite a wide…

Video: Dear Evelyn Waugh . . .
There will be more to say of all this. Next year, I imagine—when I think we may actually publish this “letter to a dead man” at the website. Right now, though, we are departing from this site because it is (the very early hours ) of Christmas and we need retreat over Christmas. We wish…

Video—Sacred Heart: Apparitions and Devotion
My latest video explores the Three Great Apparitions of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. These began in 1673 at Paray-le-Monial in France.
