Discovering Jesus’s Heart in His Word

Are you so busy that you don’t have time for the Bible? Emily Jaminet explains that she went from drinking morning coffee on the go to having that first cup with Jesus every day. She found that putting him first brought peace and joy to her family life. Jaminet—executive director of the Sacred Heart Enthronement Network—also talks with Sarah Christmyer about how discovering Jesus’s Word through devotion to his Sacred Heart revitalized her faith.

Take Emily’s Favorite Scripture to Your Next Holy Hour 

Pray: Come, Holy Spirit, open my heart and mind to hear your word today. 

Read the Word: Matthew 11:28–30  

(Read it in your own Bible to get the context, and so you can make notes.)

Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light. 

Ponder the Word: Read several times, lingering where it touches your heart. What catches your attention? What do you hear the Lord saying to you? 

Pray with the Word: Bring to the Lord what you have heard, and talk to him about it. Ask for his grace. Thank him for his loving care. 

Live the Word: How does what you read touch your life? What can you do this week to put it into practice?
