Discover the wisdom of St. Claude La Colombière (1641–1682), the Jesuit saint who was the confessor to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and championed devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In Seeking the Heart of Christ: Christian Reflections on the Interior Life, you will find a treasury of spiritual reflections that inspire deeper faith, encourage virtue, and guide the soul toward holiness. 

This remarkable collection of sermons explores essential topics of Christian living, including the sweetness of virtue and the humble submission to the will of God. La Colombière also offers profound meditations on the need for repentance, the benefits of frequent Communion, and the transformative power of the Mass. He addresses the practical struggles of life with guidance on how to deal with adversity while reminding readers of God's mercy toward sinners as they face the last things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell. 

With pastoral sensitivity and spiritual depth, La Colombière's theological insights offer a path to grow closer to Christ and align your life with His Sacred Heart. His advice to help ward against such vices as intemperance, impurity, and vainglory, for instance, makes this book a practical guide for every stage of life.
