Sacred Heart Devotion
The Sacred Heart Devotional Society fosters intense personal and communal love for Jesus Christ by contemplating his heart wounded for our sins and burning with love for humanity.
Mission and purpose
To console the wounded Heart of Jesus through acts of reparation, practice First Friday devotions, and consecrate families and institutions to his Sacred Heart.
Catholic identity and spirituality
Based on the revelations to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, focusing on Christ's tender, burning love, reparation for ingratitude, and trusting surrender to divine mercy.
History of the wider movement
Popes throughout modern history (especially Pope Leo XIII in Annum Sacrum and Pope Pius XII in Haurietis Aquas) solemnly consecrated humanity to the Sacred Heart and promoted this devotion worldwide.
Major activities and apostolate
First Friday Eucharistic adoration and communion of reparation, monthly Holy Hour of Gethsemane, enthronement of the Sacred Heart in homes and hospital wards, and spiritual works of mercy.
