FAITH FORMATION The devotion to the Sacred Heart (also known as the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Sacratissimum Cor Iesu in Latin) is one of the most widely practiced and wellknown Catholic de- votions, wherein the heart of Jesus is viewed as a symbol of "God's boundless and passionate love for mankind"  Historically the devotion to the Sacred Heart is an out- growth of devotion to what is believed to be Christ's sa- cred humanity.[6] During the first ten centuries of Christi- anity, there is nothing to indicate that any worship was rendered to the wounded Heart of Jesus.[7] The revival of religious life and the zealous activity of Saint and Saint in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, together with the enthusiasm of the Crusaders returning from the Holy Land, gave a rise to devotion to the Passion of Jesus Christ and particularly to practices in honor of the Sacred Wounds. The devo- tion is especially concerned with what the Church deems to be the longsuffering love and compassion of the heart of Christ towards humanity. The popularization of this devotion in its modern form is derived from a Ro- man Catholic from France, Saint Margaret Mary Al- acoque, who said she learned the devotion from Jesus during a series of apparitions to her between 1673 and 1675,[3] and later, in the 19th century, from the mystical revelations of another Catholic nun in , Blessed Mary of the Divine Heart Droste zu Vischering, a reli- gious of the Good Shepherd, who requested in the name of Christ that Leo XIII consecrate the entire world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus  The Feast of the Sacred Heart, in the Catholic liturgical calendar since 1856, is now a solemnity and is celebrat- ed 19 days after Pentecost, always on a Friday.
