But we can enter into a true intimacy with God in this mystery by trusting in Christ, who expressed God’s love in a human way as we meditate on His journey on this world. Perhaps at this point many people wonder why it is said that faith is something that can help us to delve into this great revelation? Why can the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which is also a heart of flesh, be a concrete expression of God’s Love, which produces salvation?
