A Fresh Look at the Sacred Heart

I have been fascinated by the Sacred Heart of Jesus for a long time. The devotion has captured my imagination and I try to devote the month of June to prayer to appeal to Jesus' heart.

Dr. Dawn Eden Goldstein, a former rock 'n' roll journalist, has presented an exquisite portrait of this beloved devotion in her new book, The Sacred Heart: A Love for All Times.

Dr. Goldstein offers a fresh look at the Sacred Heart, drawing on insights from saints ranging from St. Margaret Mary Alocoque to St. Faustina Kowalska. Her musings make me want to devote myself even more fervently to Jesus' heart.

The author offers these encouraging words to her readers:

"As you read this book, my prayer is that, whatever you may feel or not feel, you will discover that, in the words Lucia of Fatima reported hearing from an angel, 'the Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to your supplications.'"

If you long for a closer relationship to the Lord, please consider adding The Sacred Heart: A Love for All Times to your bookshelf. You may just be amazed at the transformations in your life when you devote yourself to the Sacred Heart.
