Heart of Jesus in the mystical experience of the saints:
In this third part would have to include a gallery of great saints, which is logically impossible. Recall, for starters, to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, who was the confidante of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, also Saint Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Bernard, St. Bonaventure, St. Gertrude, St. Catherine Siena, St. Francis of Assisi, and many other saints who have distinguished themselves by this devotion. Among those closest to us can remember one of the greatest promoters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus cited even by Pope Pius XII, who was the Father Mateo Crawley-Boevey, and Monsignor Manuel González, the bishop of abandoned tabernacles. " All these, among many others, have found in the Heart of Jesus delights. This is what we say in the last of the Litany: "Cor Jesu, deliciae sanctorum omnium," "Heart of Jesus, delight of all saints." They have come to drink from the inexhaustible source, and penetrating her from the side wound of Christ made her sweetness and treasure.
pause for a moment on that wound in his side which symbolizes, first of all, Jesus' invitation to enter into their lives, which is proper to the contemplative life. The beautiful wound repair also symbolizes that we also love. This is an essential note of devotion to the Sacred Heart. A heart pierced, wounded by his enemies, "Victim of sinners" (victim of sinners and sins) requires compensation claims many holy souls have offered their sufferings, their illnesses, their dryness, humiliations, all crosses, for console and make reparation to the Heart of Jesus, in the absence of love of many men. So you love, love for the offenses against the human being who loves, wants to claim, "avenge" holy speaking, the sins of men. This fix is \u200b\u200bfound expressed in this prayer that St. Francis of Assisi says the Lord, "where there is hatred, let me sow love, etc. ...". So if the launch is symbolic of sin and all that we have suffered to the Heart of Jesus, our love for Him must be repaired.

Here, in summary, the three fundamental aspects of the theology of the Sacred Heart. In fact, the symbolism of Love brings together the other two, the exemplary and pain. This is because the love of Jesus come together three realities or dimensions, reduced to unity by virtue of the hypostatic union: Love divine Word itself, the Second Person of the Trinity, and loves (spiritual and sensitive) characteristic of the humanity of Christ Hence the perfect harmony that lies at the heart of Jesus, is like a knot, so to speak, where converge the infinite love of God and human love of man, who represents Christ as the Head of Mystical Body.
So in the Heart of Jesus we have the epitome of the whole universe, the recapitulation of all things divine dimension strictly speaking, as is said, and the human dimension, in both its spiritual and sensitive. All the material world is represented, recapitulated, symbolized in the tender love of Christ. All the spiritual world of souls, minds and angels is symbolized, unified in the soul of Christ. And the eternal Love of God in the same Word, the Son.
For all that we have considered so far, we can say with Pope Pius XII that devotion to the Sacred Heart devotion is no more, but "substantial Devotion" (cf. Encyclical Haurietis aquas). This is because it is the same love of the Incarnate Word, symbolized in his heart, which represents the Divine person and divine-human nature of Jesus Christ.
In the Heart of Jesus is contained all the economy of salvation. Sanctifying grace springs from the Sacred Heart, as well as the sacraments, all of which is symbolized by the drops of blood and water that flowed from the open side of the Redeemer. It is St. John the Apostle, the lover of the Sacred Heart, who notes that after the soldier pierced the side of Jesus on the cross, "instantly came out blood and water" (Jn 19:34).
These drops of blood and water are both a symbol of the Church, the mystical bride, who as a second Eve, born from the wounded side of Adam, stayed on the cross (cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, 766).

Let us now simply and in a schematic way, the symbolism that encloses the heart of our beloved and beautiful King:
* exemplary model. Returning to the teachings of St. Paul, who told us that the Father's plan is to "make all things in Christ as its head, which is in heaven and things on earth" (Eph 1.10). In this way, the Heart of Jesus is presented as the exemplary model the whole work of Creation, of Redemption and Glorification. Everything is concentrated in the Heart of Jesus, everything flows ultimately Heart of Jesus. This is what we read in the Letter to the Colossians: "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation, for in him were created all things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible .. . all things were created through Him and to Him is before everything, and everything having its consistency. He is also Head of the Body, the Church is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that is the first in everything, because God was pleased to dwell in the whole fullness, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, making peace through the blood of his cross, which is on earth and in heaven "(Col 1.14 to 20). When we say "Heart of Jesus, substantially united to the Word of God we speak of a substantial union of what we call the hypostatic union, as we have seen. And all this leads us to believe that in Jesus Christ we have the synthesis of God and man, symbolized harmony in the Heart of Jesus (Body, Soul and Divinity), and consequently, the synthesis of all things in heaven and earth .
* Secondly, the Heart of Jesus is a symbol of God's love. In the Letter to the Romans, the Apostle exclaims: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? But in all these things we overcome by Him who loved us. Because I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature can separate us from God's Love in Christ Jesus our Lord "(8.35. 37-39). That love of God revealed in Christ, is concretely manifested in the divine-human heart, human-divine, His Heart of flesh, which lives as a living shrine, the fullness of the love of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
* The third symbol is that of pain. Earlier we said that the Heart of Christ is the sum of all the mysteries of our Redemption. And redemption is to say that suffering, sacrifice, death, passion, pain. This is what is in this litany that reads "Cor Iesu, lancea perforatum, is pierced by a spear. And the pierced side flowed blood, which is telling us that there is no death, no pain, no suffering, because it is the mystery of a love rejected by men, which leads to the madness of death on the cross.

The Theology:
The Theology of the Heart of Jesus have to frame it within Christology (dogmatic treatise on Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word) and, within this treaty We have to stop in the holy humanity of Christ, distinguishing it, but never separate from his divinity.
The Humanity of Christ to be united hypostatically the Word of God (the Second Person of the Trinity) deserves, demands of us a worship of latria, because it is a body and a soul, or body-animated of a person, not a human but divine, infinite: the eternal Word of God. Then the adorable humanity of Jesus is under the Divine. St. Paul says that "in Christ dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily", "In quo habitat omnis divinitatis plenitudo Corporalita" (Col 2.9). This beautiful text is picked up the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Therefore, to love what Theology teaches us about the Heart of Jesus be enough to study and meditate, one by one, these litanies, each more hermosa1.
Pope Pius XII, in a phrase that is a whole world, says that "the Heart of Jesus is as the sum of the whole mystery of our Redemption." He also claims that "in the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus contains the essence of all religion" (Encyclical Haurietis aquas). It is the synthesis of the history of Revelation, the entire Plan of God.
already know that the words of St. Paul: "unite all things in Christ" (Eph 1.10). Well, the symbol of this summary is just the Heart of Jesus. So the Church has established a liturgical feast in honor of the Heart, whose worship and devotion have been growing to this day, despite the desecration, of rationalism, evolutionism, and other negative factors of the historical moment in which we live.
