The great adventure of life is to seek the way to the heart of God. When the heart of Jesus was pierced on the cross, there was opened to us a vision of his heart wounded by our sins. We might spend a life-time exploring the inexhaustible riches of his love, and we would plan to draw all human hearts to himself and to the love of his Father.
Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus helps us to love as he loves, and to pray as he prays. His love gathers us together into one; his prayer embraces the whole human family and every human need.
The prayers in this book, while formulated in the first person, are not meant to be self-centred; they are made on behalf of the whole people of God; they are directed towards the needs and strivings, the joys and heart-breaks of the vast multitude to whom the Sacred Heart goes out with pity and love.
This book is a bestseller with 145,000 copies sold.
