The Sacred Heart of Jesus

Has the world lost its heart? Have we lost our center, our inmost being?

The heart has always been a symbol used to express emotion, hurt, rejection, human understanding, and, above all, love. The Church, in its devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, wants to waken us to a God who has hungered and suffered, known joy and sorrow--a God with heart.

The thirty beautiful heart-centered meditations in this book dramatically illustrate our need to turn to the heart of Jesus as a way of overcoming modern disregard for life, justice, and peace.

Bernard Haering shows us that true veneration of the Sacred Heart is more than a pious practice. It is a devotion deeply rooted in Scripture and tradition. This devotion is needed today to bring us to the deep, overflowing love of the heart of Jesus--the hope of reparation and the source of redemption for our world.
