What causes the Sacred Heart of Jesus to break? Well, in what ways are you suffering? Jesus suffers with you. Who has broken your heart? Jesus is brokenhearted with you. Which of your loved ones have been rejecting Christian faith and morality? How have you been misled into Satan’s territory? How have you been tricked by his deceptions? This breaks Jesus’s heart, too.
What heals the Sacred Heart of Jesus? The same thing that heals your heart! In this episode, I share three steps that will heal your heart while also serving as healing balm for the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Excerpt:
Today, I would like to bring some healing to your heart. I would like to bring to you the healing that comes from Jesus, from his Sacred Heart to your precious heart. Because you know what? Your heart is very precious to him. Your feelings in your heart of suffering – of pain, of hopes, of dreams, of joys, of everything that we say goes on in the heart (the heart of our being, the heart of our soul, the heart of our life, that center of us) – this is where the Lord Jesus wants to dwell more fully so that he can heal you more fully. And so that he can help your dreams come true – the dreams that God the Father has planted in you. And so that Jesus can help you to become the saint that the Father has designed you to be and the Holy Spirit is empowering you to be. So that Jesus’ Sacred Heart is alive in you. And so that others can see and are evangelized by the presence of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in you.
I’m going to share with you something that happened to me a long time ago regarding the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I was a young Catholic, a young mother. And the Sacred Heart of Jesus was not something that I was very familiar with. I’d heard about it. I’d seen holy cards of it. I’d seen statues of it. But I was raised Protestant. In my particular branch of Protestanism, I never heard the phrase “Sacred Heart of Jesus”. So when I became Catholic, I just thought, “Oh, it’s a nice little —. People have a devotion to this picture on a holy card, this image of Jesus having a heart that is worn on the outside of his chest. And it’s got flames coming from it. And it’s got the crown of thorns around it. It’s a nice image. It’s nice symbolism.”
But one day while I was going to daily Mass, after Mass was finished, when I was getting ready to leave, I felt Jesus say to me: “Stay. Don’t leave yet. Come and kneel before the tabernacle. Come and worship and talk to Me in front of the tabernacle.”
For anybody listening to this who isn’t Catholic, the tabernacle is where the Sacred Body of Jesus is kept. The Eucharist that is not used up at the Mass is kept in this gold tabernacle, this little temple within the church. [The Eucharist that is] the actual presence of Jesus, the actual Body of Jesus in the form of bread. In my case, where I live, it’s [in the form of] a wafer.
Well, in obedience, I went to the tabernacle and I knelt. I was feeling embarrassed about it because I’d never done anything this publicly demonstrative before. There were some people who were still lingering behind after Mass to pray, and I was feeling very self-conscious going over to the tabernacle and kneeling. But, in obedience, I did it.
As soon as I knelt down, I suddenly saw in my mind’s eye Jesus coming out of the tabernacle. Jesus standing in front of me. And Jesus had his hands on his outer garments. And he began to open his outer garment. It reminded me of Superman: When Superman is going to somebody’s rescue, he’s dressed as Clark Kent. And he runs. And he’s heading off to help the person he needs to help. And he grabs his outer garments, his Clark Kent suit. And he rips open that outer garment. And you see the big S that stands for Superman. And, of course, he then finishes taking off the outer garments and Superman flies off to the rescue. That’s what came to my mind when I had this image of Jesus pulling apart his outer garments.
But what I saw in there was….
