About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus: Containing Exercises for Confession, Communion, and the Holy Mass, With Numerous Other Prayers and Reflections Suited to the Devotion, and an Account of Its Origin, Progress, and Excellence

The progress of this devotion was obvious and rapid-after the death of Father La Colombiere, of the society of Jesus, a man as well known for his piety as his works, the journal of his spiritual retreats was published, in which is contained the revelation which we have just now quoted; and this was the first means which the Lord employed, not only to give' publicity to this revelation, but also to increase the devotion to his sacred Heart. Several other works appeared soon after on the same subject, and many new editions were published. Thus the devotion to the Sacred Heart extended to different provinces; and, notwithstanding the oppo sitiou it had to encounter, it was embraced by immense numbers of all ranks. Several of our bishops approved of it in their dioceses.
