The Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a profound expression of the Catholic faith, focusing on the love, mercy, and compassion of Christ for all humanity.

This devotion honors the physical Heart of Jesus as the symbol of His divine love — a love that led Him to sacrifice Himself for our salvation.

The practice of devotion to the Sacred Heart became widespread through the visions of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque in the 17th century. Jesus revealed to her His Heart, burning with love for mankind and wounded by sin and indifference.

He asked for greater love in return, devotion through prayer, the offering of sufferings, and acts of reparation.

The Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the Friday following the Feast of Corpus Christi.

Through this devotion, the faithful are invited to trust deeply in Jesus’ mercy, to unite their hearts with His, and to be instruments of His love in the world.

The Sacred Heart is a fountain of grace, a source of peace, and a call to deeper holiness.

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
