Jesus invites you to experience his love through devotion to his Sacred Heart, a powerful source of spiritual and personal healing that can also transform your relationships with family, friends, and others around you.

In Holy Habits from the Sacred Heart, Emily Jaminet—executive director of the Sacred Heart Enthronement Network—identifies ten habits and virtues that come from the Sacred Heart. She also shows how you can intentionally practice these virtues in order to get closer to Jesus and strengthen the relationships that are most important to you.

Having Jesus at the center of family life isn’t reserved for the pious; it’s a form of practical spirituality that is open to everyone. Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus has been a cornerstone of Jaminet’s life bolstering the faith of four generations of her family members. In this book she shares her own story as well as the real-life experiences of regular Catholics whose families have been changed for the better by the love and virtue that came from devotion to the Sacred Heart.

The habits and virtues include:

• Encounter the King: welcome Jesus into your home with the virtue of docility;
• Welcome the Light: have courage to rid your heart of shame;
• Let Go of the Need to Control: rediscover the liberating virtue of humility;
• Put Jesus at the Center of Relationships: experience the release of forgiveness; and
• Live in the Kingdom of Peace: experience the transforming power of prudence.

Each chapter includes a prayer, reflection questions, and wisdom from St. Margaret Mary Alacoque—who began the Sacred Heart devotion—and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Behold This Heart: St. Francis de Sales and Devotion to the Sacred Heart

True devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus moves us to ponder the unrelenting love of Jesus, fully human and fully divine, as He poured Himself out for the world.

In these pages, Fr. Thomas Dailey transports you beyond the prayers and liturgies and helps you to contemplate the Sacred Heart, which Pope Benedict XVI said “has irreplaceable importance.” Fr. Dailey shows you how to experience the way of prayer that formed St. Margaret Mary — the visionary to whom the devotion was revealed — in the religious order founded by St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal.

Fr. Dailey’s brilliant combination of Salesian spirituality and meditative devotion will enable you to respond to Christ’s “divine affection” and experience God’s love as never before. Through a series of nine reflections on the Sacred Heart, Fr. Dailey will show you: 

• How you can live the devout life despite your many worldly responsibilities 
• Proven ways you can release supernatural confidence and overcome fear
• The keys to developing the practice of mental prayer and entering contemplation
• How to listen for and discern God’s will for your life 
• Ways you can discover your personal spiritual vocation 
• Why Pope St. Paul VI called the Sacred Heart devotion “the most effective means of promoting the reform of life and the defeat of atheism”

With Fr. Dailey as your guide, these engaging meditations will transform you as you step through the pages of the greatest love story ever told.
