The Sacred Heart of Jesus

Background of the Sacred Heart of Jesus:


Sacred Heart of Jesus is a devotion that represents Jesus’ love for all mankind.  It originated from a series of apparitions that Jesus made to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in the late 1600s, in which Jesus showed her his fiery, burning heart and asked her to give him hers.  The devotion became popular after her death, but it was not officially recognized by the Church until 1765 in France.   The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus falls 19 days after Pentecost, which is seven weeks after Easter.


Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus:

Your Sacred Heart is ablaze with love. Your hand extends towards me, and towards all, offering love, mercy, and healing. Sacred Heart of Jesus may your love transform me. Burn away my hesitation that I may become your love and radiate your mercy. Amen.


The Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a deep reflection on the compassion, wisdom, justice, and strength of the Heart of Jesus.
