The Glories of the Sacred Heart
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Henry Edward Manning explains various aspects of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In the preface he states, “The devotion of the Sacred Heart has two aspects: the one as the center of all dogma; the other as the source of the deepest devotion.” Manning addresses the dogmatic side of the devotion, believing that “when divine truth is fully … apprehended it generates devotion.”
