Notes: This folk art piece of the Sacred Heart of Jesus speaks to the elegance of simplicity and the beauty of humility. It depicts the peaceful, loving Face of Christ, His large eyes gazing forward. His wounded hands frame His Sacred Heart. His Bleeding Heart, wrapped in x 's representing His crown of thorns, shows His continual outpouring of love for us. The torso of Christ is robed in white and gray garments. His head is encircled by a halo of gold leaf. The background is ombre in graduated shades of beige, with a lightness radiating from His halo.
Inspiration: "O most holy Heart of Jesus,...make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to your will...Within your heart I place my every care. In every need let me come to you with humble trust saying, Heart of Jesus, help me. Amen"
