“Behold the Heart of the Redeemer – an understandable sign of his indomitable love and an inexhaustible source of true peace. In him “the fullness of God truly dwells” (Col 2:9). The peace that Christ brought to earth comes precisely from this fullness and this love. It is the gift of a loving God who loved man in the heart of his only begotten Son. “He is our peace” (cf. Phil 2:14) – exclaims Saint Paul. Yes, Jesus is peace, he is our reconciliation. (…) As we venerate his Sacred Heart today, let us pray fervently for peace: first for peace in our hearts, but also for peace in our families, in our country and throughout the world: Heart of Jesus, our peace and our reconciliation, have mercy on us!” (Address by Pope John Paul II on 7 June 1999 in Toruń)
