Meer over het boek

After the devotions of May to His Blessed Mother Mary, we turn to June, the month of His love. This month is significant for weddings, reflecting a focus on love, union, and the promises of the human heart and Divine Love. The Month of the Sacred Heart, by the Abbé Berlioux, offers a wealth of practices and sentiments to sanctify June. It serves as an excellent daily reader and is also useful for First Friday devotions, home enthronements, and matrimonial ceremonies. Each chapter includes a day's reading, prayer, and an example, often drawn from the author's experiences or historical figures, including St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. The book captures the spirit of the tumultuous nineteenth century, resonating with contemporary social and spiritual unrest. Over thirty days, it explores the Sacred Heart devotion, covering its origins, promises, and symbols, as well as the sorrows that wound His Heart. The readings are concise, making them accessible for morning meditation amidst a busy life, encouraging a deeper devotion to His Divine Heart. Each example illustrates the truths taught, showcasing conversions and inspiring lives devoted to Jesus. Those who engage with this devotion can save their souls and those of others. The accompanying prayers aim to deepen love for Christ, guiding readers to live as brothers of Christ.
