The Sacred Heart of Jesus: Meditations and Prayers

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 Häring 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.Imprint: Liguori Publications has revived The Queen’s Work imprint to support the needs of the people of God who desire a life of greater piety and devotion. It is intended to encourage the positive spiritual energy that’s present in the Church today. Paperback. 276 pages.Size: 5 x 7 (in)   Read More Read Less
