THE STORY OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
God made us just to love us.
He wants us to love Him back.
He knows that loving Him is the only way we can be
truly happy.
For thousands of years people who became close
friends of God
have been telling us that God's heart is full of
love for us.
A heart means love.
God loved us so much that He came to earth to be
born as Jesus.
When He was here, the Heart of Jesus burned with
love for all people. It still does.
To show His great love, artists paint His heart
all on fire.
Jesus came to show that God loves even those
people who don't care about Him.
Jesus was willing to suffer and die on a cross to
show God's love for all.
Remembering this, artists draw a cross above His
burning Heart.
When Jesus was hanging on the cross, a soldier
pierced his side with a lance.
Blood and water gushed out, showing us again how
much He loved us.
Artists place the wound from the lance in the
Heart of Jesus.
People who hated Jesus put a crown of thorns on
his head, hurting him.
Today people hurt Jesus when they ignore God's
love or hate God.
Artists show that hurt by placing a crown of
thorns around His Heart.
Jesus, I
love You! I thank you for loving
me. I adore Your Sacred Heart.
Fill my heart with more love for You every day.
Let me be like You, loving and gentle to others at
all times.
Help me to pray every day for those who do not
know You or love You.
I offer You all I do--my prayers, my words, my
actions, and my whole self.
Sacred Heart of Jesus! I give myself to You today
and forever.
