The devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus spread and became universal thanks to the visions of St. Margaret Mary who was a visitation nun. Jesus Christ appeared to her in these visions which took place in 1675, during the octave of the Feast of Corpus Christ when she was told to honor his Sacred Heart. When Jesus appeared before St. Margaret Mary he requested that the Feast of the Sacred Heart be celebrated on the Friday after the eighth day of the Feast of Corpus Christi, as a way to make amends for the ingratitude of men for the sacrifice that Christ had made for mankind. Jesus also promised blessings for all those who practice devotion to his Sacred Heart.

It is a very special devotion that symbolizes God’s incredible love for humanity, as well as his physical heart. The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is a special reminder to make Christ’s heart our own and to always have the love and compassion of Jesus within ourselves, as well as follow his example in everything we do.

The crown of thorns over the Sacred Heart of Jesus reminds us of Christ’s sacrifice, while the heart afire is Jesus burning love for humanity. The heart is a symbol of Christ’s undying love for humanity and symbolizes Jesus in his entirety.
