Sacred Heart of Jesus: Devotion to Jesus' Heart for Children - Hardcover

by Patrick O'Hearn (Author), Adalee Hude (Illustrator)

Imagine the joy you would feel if Jesus Christ spoke directly to your heart. In these short, deeply stirring reflections, readers young and old will experience just that -- the wonder of Jesus' words echoing in their hearts. They will be compelled to open their hearts ever wider to Christ's love and console His Sacred Heart in return.

These simple yet treasured meditations include Jesus' private revelations to St. Margaret Mary, St. Gertrude, and St. Faustina, along with relevant Scripture passages and the author's moving reflections.

In this keepsake book, you will discover why devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is so important for families, especially children, and how to incorporate it into your life. The content can be absorbed all at once or over a nine-month meditation period.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus will teach you to:

• Find rest in His all-loving, merciful Heart
• Rekindle your love for the Holy Eucharist
• Hope in Jesus' twelve promises to those devoted to His Sacred Heart
• Understand the First Friday Devotion in its fullness

On this spiritual journey, you will reflect on the Christ Child and learn gentleness and humility of heart. You will be impelled to grow in faith, trust, fortitude, obedience, perseverance, contrition, and wholehearted love for the Lord.

Breathtaking paintings by Adalee Hude adorn the pages, reflecting the Sacred Heart and nine flowers symbolic of Jesus' love and Passion. A collection of traditional prayers in both English and Latin and four original prayers by Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke are also included to help you fall more deeply in love with the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
