After Jesus died on the cross, the Roman centurian thrust a sword into Jesus' side and "at once blood and water came out" (Jn. 19:34). That image of the blood flowing from Jesus' pierced side has come to symbolize the greater love he has for us. That burning love is at the center of the devotion to the Sacred Heart. That devotion developed as the Church meditated on the love of Jesus and gradually came to understand it better. The saint most closely associated with devotion to the Sacred Heart is St. Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690). Through Margaret Mary, Jesus requested that we honor his Sacred Heart by fervently receiving Holy Communion, especially on the First Friday of the month, and offering reparation for sins. Jesus gave to Margaret Mary 12 promises for all those devoted to his Sacred Heart. The booklet includes morning and evening prayers, the Novena to the Sacred Heart, Prayer of Trust, Prayer for the Church, Act of Reparation to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Prayer for Healing, Litany to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and more. Also includes the Twelve Promises of Jesus to those who honor his most Sacred Heart and the Act of Consecration of the Family to the Sacred Heart.
