The Sacred Heart of Jesus can look a little different in each depiction, but it contains 5 key elements that are rich in symbolism:
❤️The exposed heart represents Jesus’ divine love for all of humanity.
✝️Depicted above the heart, the Cross symbolizes Jesus’ suffering and sacrifice on the Cross for the salvation of the world.
🔥The flame that emerges from the top of the heart represents the transformative and purifying power of Jesus’ love.
👑The crown of thorns that encircles the heart symbolizes the pain and suffering Jesus endured during his Passion.
🩸The wound on the side of the heart represents the wounds inflicted on Jesus both by the Roman soldier who pierced his side, but also by all of humanity through their sins.
This month of the #SacredHeart of Jesus, let us allow ourselves to be transformed and engulfed by his redemptive love.
