Healing Promises: The Essential Guide to the Sacred Heart

I bought this as a gift for a friend of mine. She loved it.

Very good book on how to live out the PROMISES OF OUR LORD JESUS for all those devoted to His Sacred Heart.

Highly recommend! This is the best book I’ve read on this devotion. I can’t wait to share this information with others!

I really like the straight-forward explanations of the Devotion and the definitive history described with quotes from the saints. The “Heart Notes” help the reader to reflect on and relate to the experience of the Devotion, with personal stories, prompting reflections and heartfelt prayers.
For those of us who are familiar with the Sacred Heart of Jesus image and devotion (thanks to a faith-filled Grandma and her love for the image of the Sacred Heart), this is an excellent resource to dig deeper and foster this devotion within our own lives. For those who are new to the Sacred Heart of Jesus devotion, this book offers an all-inclusive introduction that will surely inspire them and deepen their Spiritual Life and personal relationship with Jesus.

The book has a history of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. My deceased grandmother was very devoted to the Sacred Heart. She had a portrait of it hanging in her dining room all her life. Now it resides on the wall in our dining room.

My personal devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus began when I was praying for the conversion of a loved one to Catholicism. This person became a convert and remains faithful to the Catholic Church today.

Sometimes we may feel, if our everyday lives are troubled or too busy, that God might be too busy to hear us and respond. I learned that this is not the case. Trusting in the Lord is first. But remember He is always with us.

I truthfully have not, as yet, completed the entire book. However, I read the chapters which interested me at first and, of course, the prayer section in the back. It says in the Bible to pray unceasingly, so I say the prayers everyday and try to trust that I will be guided by His Sacred Heart to do the Will of God. After all, He is in charge; not me.
