Novena to the Sacred Heart

“The dynamic at the root of the Carmelite quest is a longing for God deep in the heart. The Carmelite journey is a pilgrimage to the heart of God whom we eventually discover has been dwelling deep within our own hearts all the time.”
–excerpt from Sacred Heart by Johan Bergström-Allen, T.O.C.
