The heart of Christ is not decoration

Mark as read

An image of the Heart of Jesus calls you to learn his way of loving.

The articles on Faustina, Margaret Mary, and Rosano present the Heart of Christ as mercy, self-giving, and a call to conversion. Reducing it to a pretty holy card would be staying on the surface. A Christian devotion does not merely seek to evoke comfort. It sets before you a way of loving: welcoming the wounded, remaining faithful, forgiving, and not turning indifferent. If the image does not touch your relationships, it turns into religious decoration. To venerate the Heart of Jesus is to let it educate your own. Not copying an emotion, but asking for a love that is more patient, courageous, and available in the concrete situations of the day.

Key idea
