Meet the saints devoted to the Sacred Heart

Saints are sinners remade in the image of Jesus. His love not only redeems them but also transforms them into channels of his love for others. Hearts, once callous and turned inward, are softened and opened up, making Christ’s saints into the flesh-and-blood proof of the power of God’s mercy.

Every saint is devoted to Christ, in whom the saints have found and received life, but some saints focus a particular devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in which they have found the source of all healing and grace. Those devoted to his Sacred Heart have allowed their own hearts to become like his in gentleness, humility and suffering for love. The list of such saints is long, but gazing even at some of them allows us to both marvel at the wonders of the love of God in Christ and draw inspiration for developing our own devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
