About this episode

This episode discusses the Feast of the Sacred Heart and its significance in Christian spirituality, particularly through the life of Margaret Mary Alacoque.

Feast of the Sacred Heart is celebrated on the third Friday after Pentecost, focusing on Jesus's heart as a symbol of his divine love and physical sacrifice, as promoted by the French Visitation nun and mystic Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-90) who's devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus was unconditional. She was canonized a Saint in 1920 by Pope Benedict XV.
