The Sacred Heart of Jesus is a devotion that offers us a clear appreciation of God’s love for us. In Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross, we find redemptive love that offers us a second chance through reconciliation and the courage to follow in his footsteps even unto death.
Learning the importance of struggle and suffering is something that is largely missing in this modern culture of easy living. When we look back to Christ, we find that only by living his sacrifice can we arrive at “Jerusalem.”
Can we claim a reward for a good deed? Can we merit anything with our works? Or is it God’s grace and mercy alone that saves us?
