Tips from the Community

JakobusPilger
April 30, 2026, Herz-Jesu-Kirche Laufen

“Behold, the Heart of the Redeemer – an understandable sign of his invincible love and an inexhaustible source of true peace. In him, ‘the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily’ (Col 2:9). The peace that Christ brought to the earth comes precisely from this fullness and this love. It is the gift of a loving God who loved humanity in the heart of his only-begotten Son. ‘He is our peace’ (cf. Phil 2:14) – cries Saint Paul. Yes, Jesus is peace, he is our reconciliation. (…) As we venerate his Most Sacred Heart today, we pray earnestly for peace: first for peace in our hearts, but also for peace in our families, in our country, and throughout the whole world: Heart of Jesus, our peace and our reconciliation, have mercy on us!” (Address by Pope John Paul II on June 7, 1999, in Thorn)
