❤️ Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus — Day 8 ❤️
"Heart of Jesus, gentle and humble of heart."
Today we join Saint Thérèse of Lisieux in contemplating the humility and gentleness of Christ. The Sacred Heart teaches us that true greatness is found not in pride, but in love, trust, and childlike confidence in God's mercy.
🙏 O Jesus, gentle and humble of heart, make our hearts like unto Thine.
May we grow in humility, charity, and trust as we draw closer to the Heart of Jesus.
