Bishop Bonnar writes about the heart in America Magazine

America Magazine published a story written by our very own Bishop David J. Bonnar, titled, “The human heart and the Sacred Heart: What Pope Francis can teach us about a holy devotion.” In this reflection, Bishop Bonnar discusses the human heart, Pope Francis’ encyclical on the human heart, titled Dilexit Nos, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
