Fr. John Eckert joins Patrick to Discuss the Sacred heart of Jesus

  • (7:58) Father talks about the origin of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
  • How is Jesus’ love unique to us?
  • (17:55) Vincent – It was my first devotion when I went back to church. Got away from it with life and work. Now that I’m retired, I’ve gotten back to it.

(20:31) Break 1

  • (22:20) Ann – I started the devotion but then someone gave me a card to the devotion to the precious blood, then the sacred wounds. I don’t know how you handle all of those devotions. How do you focus on just one?
  • Bob – 12 years ago, my oldest son was diagnosed with brain cancer. When we were praying, he gave me a holy card for the Sacred Heart. I memorized the prayer and within a year, he was determined tumor free without surgery.
  • What does it matter that Jesus loves us?

(39:11) Break 2

  • Tammy – Prior to doing the sacred heart rosary, I was reading a book, A Father’s Love, and that really opened my eyes to God the trinity and God’s love. It really helped me with the Sacred Heart.
  • (45:07) Email from Liza – Can you consecrate your family to the Sacred Heart of Jesus when your spouse is an alcoholic?
  • What are the promises of the Sacred Heart and what is the meaning of them?
