My Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
When I reflect on the image of the Sacred Heart, I realize that, at a first glance, it is not such a warm image. After all, it is a bleeding heart, punctured and surrounded by a crown of thorns.
At the Evangelical Catholic, we live by a rule of life that includes prayer, community, and mission. If you resonate with this way of life, we invite you to join us in making a personal commitment below.
Drawn by the love of God and fueled by the Holy Spirit, in communion with the Catholic Church, I embrace my true identity in Christ as a beloved child of God the Father. From this center, I seek to grow in union with God, relationships with others, and maturity in my character and calling through committed responses to Jesus’ invitations to prayer, community, and mission.
To do this, I will continually seek to:
Accompany a few in my God-given circle of influence closer to Christ and the Church.
Follow Jesus together with other disciples, meeting regularly for intentional Christian community.
Pray daily and deeply abiding in Jesus through silence and solitude, Scripture, and sacraments.

When I reflect on the image of the Sacred Heart, I realize that, at a first glance, it is not such a warm image. After all, it is a bleeding heart, punctured and surrounded by a crown of thorns.
Jesus communicates with a staggering and perhaps unsettling clarity what the call of discipleship looks like in a world of winners and losers, powerful and weak, haves and have-nots. The sick, the impoverished, the imprisoned, the foreigner don’t only need aid from those who can help, but . . .
Changing the rhythms of our lives to receive more of God is difficult, but we can consciously work on this using the best advice for personal organization and habit formation available from modern and classic sources alike.
We believe everyday Catholics can transform the world by sharing their faith where they live, work, and play. Your support helps equip them to bring Jesus into those everyday moments.
