Saint Marguerite Marie Alacoque encouraged devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Sr. Josefa Menendez wrote about “The Way of Divine Love”, St. Mary Faustina Kowalska spoke of Jesus as the “King of Divine Mercy”. In this episode, we look at the similarities and differences of these three devotions and what they have to say about our relationship to God.
