Summary/Abstract: The article presents this teaching of the pope Benedict XVI, which deals with the mystery of the Heart of Jesus. Benedict XVI remarks that the essence of Christianity is expressed in the Heart of Jesus. The mystery of the most holy Heart of Jesus shows the sensitive, sincere, sympathetic and compassionate love of God, which reveals itself mainly in the cross of the Redeemer.
