Expectation is mounting around a new papal encyclical that is due to be released today by Pope Francis and which focuses on the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Dilexit nos – "He Loved Us" – will be Pope Francis’s fourth encyclical, and its timing coincides with a set of profound global challenges for a world "which seems to have lost its heart”, reports Vatican News.
It notes that the world today is "scarred by war, social and economic imbalances, rampant consumerism, and technologies that threaten to undermine human nature".
