A Chat with Emily Jaminet: Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
I previously had the pleasure and honor to speak with Catholic author, wife, grandmother, and mother, Emily Jaminet. She is also the National Executive Director of welcomehisheart.com, and my go-to source for everything related to the devotion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus! We chatted about the history of the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, enthroning your home and heart to the Sacred Heart, her new Sacred Heart children’s book, and, most importantly, the burning, deep, healing, and incredible love of Jesus for each and every one of us.

He truly wears His heart on His sleeve, so to speak.
