Description
Do you yearn for the peace, protection, and joy of a Christ-centered home? The Sacred Heart of Jesus is the answer.
Bestselling and award-winning author Emily Jaminet takes up each of the twelve promises Christ made to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in a series of visions, puts a fresh new spin on the classic Catholic devotion, and invites you and your family to experience the profound spiritual benefits you will receive when you keep the Sacred Heart of Jesus at the center of your home.
Appearing to her in a series of visions in 1673, Jesus promised St. Margaret Mary Alacoque that those who “expose and honor his most Sacred Heart” will find peace in the home, consolation in sorrow, and a source of refuge in times of trouble. In Secrets of the Sacred Heart, Jaminet—executive director of the Sacred Heart Enthronement Network—weaves personal testimony, teachings, and reflection questions while exploring and applying each of Christ’s promises. Jaminet will guide you through a special enthronement ceremony to dedicate your home and inspire you to a lifelong devotion to the Sacred Heart.
Whether you have already consecrated your home or are newly embarking on the journey of discovering the graces of this ancient practice, you will find a personal encounter with Jesus, who promises:
· peace in your home,
· safe refuge in life and death,
· blessings on your undertakings,
· an infinite source of mercy, and
· a restored and enlivened faith for those who surrender themselves wholly to Christ.

Secrets of the Sacred Heart by Emily Jaminet is a true treasure of a book. Jaminet invites the reader to experience a deep appreciation of a timeless devotion that can greatly enhance one’s spiritual life. She expertly combines revelations to St. Margaret Mary Alcoque with examples from her family’s life. In this way, the author not only informs but inspires. Secrets of the Sacred Heart is undoubtedly one of the best spiritual books I’ve read this year.
Patrick C, Reviewer
I have always been curious as to why Jesus would come to us in the form of his heart. After thinking about it and reading this book I think I understand. The heart is where Love is found. With that in mind this book makes a perfect way to find peace and a way forward.
Secrets pf the Sacred Heart offered to me a simple retreat that I did at home. Each chapter is focused on a promise of Jesus to those who focus their prayer on his heart and mercy. Its a progressive manner of doing one chapter at a time and thinking about the promise. Prayer is also a key but actually living the suggestions is OK too.I am still doing the work of this book as it is meant to be not only read but done in a good way.Its almost a self directed retreat, and can be looked at that way. Practical exercises and prayer are the key. This is an excellent book.

I’ve been reading this book as part of my daily spiritual reading, and I have learned a lot about the Sacred Heart. It is a beautiful mix of explanations of the promises of devotion to the Sacred Heart and prayers to enrich one’s devotion. I also really like that it has questions to help the reader reflect further on the promises, as well as practical applications for how to practice the devotion throughout daily life. This is a useful book for those curious about devotion to the Sacred Heart and for those who already practice the devotion. I highly recommend it!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via Netgalley and Ave Maria Press.
Secrets of the Sacred Heart is an invitation to go deeper into the twelves promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. An introduction the twelves promises given to St. Margaret Mary is given including the historical writings by popes and saints over the years.
The book is organized by a chapter for each promise that includes personal insights, exploring the promise, pondering the promise and praying the promise. This format makes this book a wonderful option to use as a devotional. I spend the first hour of each day reading a devotion and praying. I found that covering a promise each morning and at the end of my day reflecting on it was a wonderful way of not just reading about the promises but striving to live them. The questions in the Pondering the Promise section were a great opportunity to reflect, I always enjoy guided questions.
Whether you are already familiar with the secrets of the Sacred Heart or you want to know more about them, this book is a wonderful option to increase one’s devotion. I definitely recommend it.
