Karl Rahner on the Sacred Heart of Jesus
The German Jesuit theologian Karl Rahner (1904-1984) was known for his rather dense, academic theological writings. But he also authored a number of meditative spiritual writings that are very inspiring and thought-provoking for our life with God. Today, on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I share with you a selection from one of his writings on the Sacred Heart. Rahner had a deep devotion to the mystery of the pierced heart of Christ and he thought that this was a church devotion that would endure through the ages.
