Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
A nine-day Catholic devotion
A nine-day novena traditionally prayed in preparation for the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, drawing on the spirituality revealed to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque.
background
The devotion to the Sacred Heart was greatly promoted by the apparitions to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque (1673-1675). Pope Pius XII gave the most authoritative magisterial teaching in Haurietis Aquas (1956).
