From the moment I caught a glimpse of the cover, I knew that Sacred Heart Gems would be a book that I would treasure.
Fr. Donald Calloway has compiled a collection of exquisite quotations from saints, Popes, and other luminaries which aid the reader in establishing or deepening devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
The daily devotional provides spiritual sustenance for those who are seeking a closer relationship with Christ. The amount of wisdom contained within the pages of this important work is simply breathtaking.
Some of the quotes are piercingly to the point. Consider this reflection from St. Bernard of Clairvaux:
"The secret of His Heart is laid bare in the wounds of His Body."
Such power is contained in this achingly accurate statement. It could yield abundant fruit for those who ponder it in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
Fr. Calloway and Marian Press have done a great service in creating a book which is as beautiful as it is insightful. I will likely cherish this book for years to come!
