Sacred Heart of Jesus

Sacred Heart of Jesus

The Sacred Heart of Jesus image is one revered across the globe, and represents the great Love that Christ displayed for all humanity, as he willingly went to the cross to atone for the sins of all. His heart is exposed, revealing the wound, which tradition indicates, comes from the thrust of Longinus’ sword. From this wound, treasures of grace and forgiveness flow. The sword of Longinus is on display in The Vatican, and serves as a reminder of how all sin pierces the very heart of Our Lord, but willingly, He opens His Heart to us, creating a pathway to grace and forgiveness. No greater love is there than this, that One would lay down His life for His friends.
