Love, Peace and Joy: Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus According to St. Gertrude the Great

This little book was written to carry out the great desire of Jesus to make His Sacred Heart known and loved. It is based on the actual words of Our Lord to St. Gertrude, as recorded in her Revelations. Jesus said to St. Gertrude: "I wish your writings to be for later times a proof of the tenderness of My Heart, and I will make them a source of grace to many souls. While you write, I will keep your heart near to My Heart, and will instill into it, drop by drop, what you are to say." In Love, Peace, and Joy, Father Pr vot gives the actual words of Our Lord to St. Gertrude, then explains their meaning, and shows the practical ways in which a person can respond to the Heart of Jesus in order to satisfy Our Lord's great thirst to pour out His love and mercy on souls. By following these teachings in daily life, a soul will become enriched with incomparable merit and will be filled, even in this life, with the profound peace and joy which come from loving the Sacred Heart of Jesus. "Nothing gives Me so much delight as the heart of man, of which I am so often deprived. I have all good things in abundance. The heart of man is alone still wanting to Me." -Words of Our Lord
