Pope Francis summarized many times the importance of Sacred Heart devotion, which has always had very practical consequences.
“If we believe that grace can bridge every distance,“ he writes, “this means that Christ by his sufferings united himself to the sufferings of his disciples in every time and place. In this way, whenever we endure suffering, we can also experience the interior consolation of knowing that Christ suffers with us. In seeking to console him, we will find ourselves consoled.”
