    Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus with Timothy O’Donnell Christendom Conversations | Ep. 17

    Timothy O’Donnell sits down with George Harne to explore the profound theological richness of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Together, they trace its roots in Sacred Scripture and the writings of the Church Fathers, examining how this devotion reveals the depths of Christ’s love for humanity. Dr. O’Donnell explains the significance of Christ’s threefold love, the role of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in spreading the devotion, and why the Sacred Heart remains a powerful response to secularism, indifference, and attacks on human dignity. Far from being merely a historical devotion, the Sacred Heart continues to draw souls more deeply into the mystery of Christ’s sacrificial love and the hope of the Gospel.
