Emily Jaminet: Saints of the Sacred Heart, Gebunden

Klappentext

Our Lord entrusted a very special revelation to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque: the Heart of Jesus longs for your heart.

This divine revelation inspired numerous saints to know, receive, and adore Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist and to quench His thirst for our love by cultivating friendships, performing spiritual and corporal works of mercy, undertaking missionary endeavors, and imitating His Sacred Heart in daily life.

The current Jubilee of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which commemorates the 350th anniversary of Our Lord's revelations to St. Margaret Mary, overlaps with the Jubilee Year of Hope, making this endearing book a treasured novena that is accessible to children and ideal for families and for fruitful personal prayer.

In these precious pages, Emily Jaminet introduces you to ten saints of the Sacred Heart, with beautiful meditations and awe-inspiring paintings by Tracy L. Christianson, creator of the popular "Portraits of Saints" masterpieces. Within this spiritual hall of fame, you will discover:

• St. Margaret Mary's friend who helped her spread the Sacred Heart devotion
• The saint who used circus acts to attract children's attention to share the gospel with them
• The "Doctor of Love" who brought forty thousand Catholics back to the Faith
• Apostles of God's mercy who interceded for souls to experience healing through Confession
• Ways these friends of God rolled up their sleeves and served the poor, the sick, and all those in need

Additionally, you will find "Offering of the Heart" reflection questions at the end of each chapter to help you live out devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and share His love with others in your own life. The book also features traditional prayers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a special prayer for families, St. Margaret Mary's Novena Prayer, and St. Gertrude the Great's prayer for the Holy Souls.
