Resources | Jesus Prays

Trusted websites, faithful organizations, and the books that will change the way you see Jesus.

Everything Jesus Prays shares is rooted in the teaching of the Catholic Church. The places below are sources we trust, organizations we believe in, and books that have shaped our own faith. We offer them the way a friend hands you a book across the kitchen table. Because it changed something in us, and we think it might change something in you. A few of these go very deep. Take them slowly. Read them in the light of Scripture and the Church, and let Jesus lead.

Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska: Divine Mercy in My Soul

St. Faustina Kowalska

The diary Jesus asked her to keep. His own words about His mercy, written down by the nun He chose to carry them to the world. It is hard to read without feeling He is speaking to you.

The Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Fr. John Croiset, SJ The classic

Jesus Himself asked St. Margaret Mary to have written, so that devotion to His Heart would be explained and spread. A direct, tender guide to loving the Heart that loved us first.

Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

The thirty-six volumes Jesus dictated to Luisa on living in the Divine Will. These writings run deep, and they are read under the guidance of the Church. Begin with a trusted introduction and a good priest, not on your own.
