Jesus' Heart


The Devotion To The Sacred Heart of Jesus/ How to Practice The Sacred Heart Devotion by Fr. John Croiset, sj was written in 1694. It is a book of meditations and is best appreciated when read piece by piece. I'm saving this book to read during Eucharistic Adoration. The language needs to be updated but the thoughts come across.


It is a complete study of the sacred heart of Jesus. Many visions from St. Mechtilde to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, are examined. Encyclicals and books are quoted to explain the sentiments needed to appreciate the devotion to the sacred heart. I have too many tabs marking important passages I want to meditate on. The book is difficult but still a keeper.
