The Sacred Heart of Jesus
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
The devotion to the Sacred Heart (also known as the Most Sacred Heart
of Jesus, Sacratissimi Cordis Iesu in Latin) is one of the most widely
practiced and well-known Roman Catholic devotions, taking Jesus Christ's
physical heart as the representation of His divine love for humanity.
The Feast of the Sacred Heart (properly the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Latin: Sollemnitas Sacratissimi Cordis Iesu) is a solemnity
in the liturgical calendar of the Roman Catholic Church. It falls 19
days after Pentecost, on a Friday. The earliest possible date is 29 May,
as in 1818 and 2285.
Sacred means
revered due to sanctity, is in general the state of being holy
(perceived by religious individuals as associated with divinity) or sacred (considered worthy of spiritual respect or devotion; or inspiring awe or reverence among believers).
