What can we do for the Heart of Jesus, how to respond to His love? “Looking at the Heart of Jesus, the human heart learns to know the true and only meaning of one's own life, learns to guard against imperfections, to combine filial love for God with love for one's neighbor. This is how - and this is the true reparation that the Heart of the Savior expects - on the ruins of hatred and violence, the civilization of the Heart of Christ will be able to arise."
Pope Saint John Paul II
