The Sacred Heart of Jesus: Meditations and Prayers by Bernard Häring

Has the world lost its heart? Have we lost our center, our inmost being? 

The heart has always been a symbol used to express emotion, hurt, rejection, human understanding, and, above all, love. The Church, in its devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, wants to waken us to a God who has hungered and suffered, known joy and sorrow; a God with heart.

The thirty beautiful heart-centered meditations in this book dramatically illustrate our need to turn to the heart of Jesus as a way of overcoming modern disregard for life, justice, and peace.

Bernard Häring shows us that true veneration of the Sacred Heart is more than a pious practice. It is a devotion deeply rooted in Scripture and tradition. This devotion is needed today to bring us to the deep, overflowing love of the heart of Jesus; the hope of reparation and the source of redemption for our world.

THE QUEEN'S WORK: Liguori Publications has revived The Queen's Work imprint to support the needs of the people of God who desire a life of greater piety and devotion. It is intended to encourage the positive spiritual energy that's present and growing in the Church today.
