Let Us Begin: New Book on the Life and Power of St. Francis
The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus reveals the most critical aspect of our Christian life: Our faith is a love story.
St. Margaret Mary Alacoque received visions and words from Jesus between the years of 1673 and 1675. The first revelation took place on the feast of St. John the Evangelist (Dec. 27, 1673). Margaret Mary explained that she was caught up in prayer. She was enthralled in deep intimacy with Jesus. She explained, “He made me repose for a long time upon His Sacred Breast, where He disclosed to me the marvels of His Love and the inexplicable secrets of His Sacred Heart.”
On the celebration of the disciple who placed his head on the heart of Jesus at the Last Supper, Margaret Mary experienced Christ’s Sacred Heart for the first time. This fact highlights a key aspect of the Sacred Heart celebration. We must contact the Lord in order to truly experience his radical love.
