The other day, I was watching Raymond De Souza on EWTN. He is giving a series on the Sacred Heart of Jesus. He said that Our Lord Jesus’ heart is human and suffers for us. I am trying to understand what exactly he meant by this.

Well, we are not talking material wise in his glorified body, right? Is it that it is human as it is for any other soul whose body has been glorified? How is Jesus’ heart different from other hearts? Why necessarily point out that Jesus has a human heart?

Can someone expand on this please?

The Sacred Heart is the will of Jesus

CCC478 Jesus knew and loved us each and all during his life, his agony and his Passion, and gave himself up for each one of us: "The Son of God. . . loved me and gave himself for me."116 He has loved us all with a human heart. For this reason, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced by our sins and for our salvation,117 “is quite rightly considered the chief sign and symbol of that. . . love with which the divine Redeemer continually loves the eternal Father and all human beings” without exception.118

Our Lord is the only Person of the Trinity to become incarnate; iow, God, being simple and not having or requiring a body (thus not a physical heart), became Man in order to redeem mankind and raise us up to be sons in the Son. The Sacred Heart reminds us of the Incarnation and the Love that was wounded for our redemption and sanctification.
