Description
Our Lord entrusted a very special revelation to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque: the Sacred Heart of Jesus longs for your heart, too!
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.
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.
From the Author:
I think that any child ages 4 and up would love this book. It is one that you can display in the summertime around the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and return to throughout the year to renew your devotion or celebrate the special friends of the Sacred Heart within the book.
The time periods of when each saint lived are also highlighted in this book, so you could use their stories to enhance your child’s history and geography studies.
If you are a catechist, this would also be a great book to share with your religious education students. You could lead your class through the novena for 9 class sessions — I am sure the kids would be excited to hear about the new saint of the week!
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
