Jesus' left hand on his chest
Jesus' left hand on his chest points to his Sacred Heart, from where all his love emanates. It is from there that the rays that express his infinite mercy come from.
The rays that come out of the Heart of Jesus
The rays that come out of the Heart of Jesus have a wonderful meaning revealed by the Lord himself. They remember the blood and water that gushed from his Heart when it was pierced by the spear. The red rays symbolize the blood of Jesus, which saves man. The light blue ray symbolizes the Living Water, the Holy Spirit, which flows from the Heart of Jesus and purifies us from all sin. According to the words of Jesus himself, 'The two rays represent the Blood and the Water: the pale ray means the Water that justifies souls; the red mouse means the Blood that is the life of souls. Both rays gushed from the depths of My mercy, when on the Cross, My agonizing Heart was opened by the spear. These rays defend souls from My Father's wrath. Happy is he who lives in his shadow, because he will not be struck by the arm of God's justice.
