Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Jesus Christ is the center of the universe. His pierced Heart, as the symbol of His infinite and divine charity united to his human affections and love, is the focal point of all time. Those who lived during the long period before his incarnation and redemptive death and resurrection waited with yearning for the promised redeemer. Those who witnessed the piercing of his side, as well as all people who will live, are invited to gaze upon and contemplate this mystery… As Christians lovingly gaze upon his Heart, they are given the grace to believe in God’s mercy and forgiveness.
—Sr. Mary Jeremiah, O.P., S.T.D., The Secret of the Heart
