It\u2019s always a challenge to introduce students to the big questions of life. Among them, the question of love is undoubtedly the most difficult. That\u2019s why, these past few days, I was so grateful to be invited to the\u00a0preview\u00a0<\/em>from the documentary\u00a0Sacred Heart: His kingdom will have no end<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The gathering had that festive atmosphere typical of World Youth Day or meetings with the Pope: priests, religious brothers, and nuns\u2014about 200 people\u2014filled the movie theater. We sat down, the lights went out, and a young woman influencer<\/em> He put it into context. \u201cThis production was an unprecedented success in France. They weren\u2019t expecting many people, but half a million ended up attending. Since then, the feature film has been touring the world. It hits Chilean theaters this Thursday, August 20.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the plot? Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (a nun of the Order of the Visitation in Paray-le-Monial, 17th century) received as a gift a spark from the Heart of Jesus. Through that grace, she personally experienced something of the love that God has for humanity. Centered around this theme, the film weaves in testimonies from people who experienced a transformation in their lives following their encounter with the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an hour and a half, we left feeling moved, hearing all kinds of comments. \u201cI really wish the students preparing for Confirmation could have come to see it,\u201d remarked the chaplains from a school. \u201cDid you cry?\u201d others asked, somewhere between genuine curiosity and joking. As for me, I left in silence, feeling a bit overwhelmed. I got on the subway to head home and couldn\u2019t bring myself to read a single line on my Kindle. I was in a state of shock\u2026 Is it possible to live like that\u2014like Saint John resting on Jesus\u2019 chest, day and night? I haven\u2019t been able to get that question out of my head\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with this, I know there is a treasure here for my classes: How can I teach that God cares for us and loves us? The Sacred Heart of Jesus is, without a doubt, a powerful answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
