About the Book:

The Sacred Heart, Sr Anna writes, is the Living Image: both human and limited and yet cosmic and divine. In fifteen reflections on the many aspects of the heart – cosmic, authentic, courageous, forgiving, renewing – she encourages us to return and find what is new in every century, old in every history book and universal in every language: the love of God.

With suggested scripture readings, complementary reference to Dilexit Nos the 2024 Encyclical from Pope Francis, offers an inspiring reflection on the Sacred Heart of Jesus and points for reflection, The Living Image is the perfect guide to reconnecting with the Sacred Heart. Through the Sacred Heart, we can ground our life in what Pope Francis has called ‘the unifying principle of all reality’.
