the Heart That Loves Us Most: Discovering Biblical, Historical, Theological, and Spiritual Richness of Devotion to Sacred Jesus

What does devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus really mean? >In this book, Julio Rafael García Olivares guides readers through a comprehensive exploration of the biblical foundations, historical development, theological richness, and contemporary relevance of devotion to the Sacred Heart. From the pages of Sacred Scripture to the recent encyclical Dilexit Nos, we will discover how the Heart of Christ has been contemplated for centuries as a privileged sign of the human and divine love of Jesus Christ. Written in accessible language and firmly grounded in the Bible, Tradition, and the Magisterium of the Church, this book addresses topics such as: - The heart in Sacred Scripture.- Christ's pierced side and the Paschal Mystery.- St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and St. Claude de la Colombière.- The Eucharist and the Heart of Jesus.- Reparation and mercy.- Personal and family consecration.- The apostolate of the Sacred Heart.- The relevance of the message of Dilexit Nos for the 21st century.More than a historical or theological study, this book is a personal invitation to encounter Jesus Christ and discover the love that continues to transform live. Christ loved us, loves us, and will continue to love us.
