Finding Comfort in Consoling the Sacred Heart

We Catholics have this beautiful tradition of making reparation for sins. It might sound old-fashioned, but it's actually pretty profound when you think about it. It's like saying, "Hey, we know people mess up – we do too – and we want to help make things right." When we make reparation, we're acknowledging that our actions affect others, and we're offering comfort to the Heart of Jesus that's been hurt by all the indifference out there.
