The devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus began in the 1670s, when Jesus appeared several times to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a Visitation nun in France. Through these visions, He told her how He wished to be honoured with the symbol of His heart, asking for the faithful to make amends for any wrongdoing they had done, frequently take Communion, and observe the Holy Hour. In 1856, the devotion was added to the church calendar by Pope Pius IX. June is the month dedication to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Our devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus draws us into deeper reflection and focuses our hearts to receive and return the profound love of Jesus.
