Glories of the Sacred Heart

The Glories of the Sacred HeartBy Cardinal Henry Edward Manning * Published by TAN BooksOverviewIn The Glories of the Sacred Heart, Cardinal Henry Edward Manning presents one of the most profound dogmatic defenses of devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus ever written. Rather than approaching the Sacred Heart merely through sentiment, Manning grounds the devotion firmly in the dogma of the Incarnation and the worship due to the Sacred Humanity of Christ. In doing so, he unites devotion to the Sacred Heart with devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, echoing the insistence of Saint Margaret Mary that these mysteries cannot be separated.Manning argues that authentic devotion flows from rightly understood doctrine. When divine truth is grasped in its fullness, it ignites love. In an age marked by spiritual coldness and superficial faith, this work calls the reader back to a deep personal relationship with Christ, the Divine Master, whose Heart remains the center of all dogma and the source of all true charity.Discover how the devotion to the Sacred Heart is rooted in the dogma of the Incarnation.Understand why true devotion must flow from solid theological foundations.Explore the transforming power of the Sacred Heart in the Christian soul.Learn the intimate connection between the Sacred Heart and the Blessed Sacrament.Deepen your personal love for Christ through doctrinal clarity and spiritual depth.From the Book"e;I believe firmly that when divine truth is fully understood it generates devotion; that one cause of shallowness in the spiritual life is a superficial apprehension of the dogma of the Incarnation; and that one divine purpose in the institution and diffusion of the devotion of the Sacred Heart, in these last times, is to reawaken in the minds of men the consciousness of their personal relation to a Divine Master."e;- Cardinal Henry Edward ManningIntended AudienceIdeal for clergy, seminarians, theology students, and lay faithful seeking a deeper doctrinal foundation for their spiritual life.
