The third issue of The Margins centers on the Sacred Heart.
Not as a soft religious decoration, or a handy image to weaponize in cultural battles.
This is about the Heart of Christ as fire, wound, mercy, and interruption.
Inside, this issue moves through cold religion, mechanized spirituality, holy emotion, pierced love, Scripture, saints, adoration, mystical experience, and the strange tenderness of a God who shows us His Heart when we have forgotten how to love.
It asks what happens when faith becomes anxious, performative, overly polished, or afraid of tenderness. It asks why Christ reveals not only His authority, not only His teachings, not only His wounds, but His Heart.
This is a paper about the Sacred Heart as the center of Christian life: burning, pierced, crowned, exposed, and still pouring itself out.
It includes essays, Scripture reflections, prayers for adoration, saint vignettes, collage pages, a centerfold from the Song of Songs, a public health announcement for spiritual heart failure, and a sponsored message from Catholic grandmas who are praying for you all the time.
Details:
44 printed pages
Page count refers to individual pages, not folded sheets
Mixed layout: essays, prayers, collage spreads, tinted pages, saint vignettes, and visual interruptions
Small batch, limited copies
Written and created by W. Tyler Allen of St. Anthony’s Tongue
