Church. The See also:principal See also:object of this devotion is the Saviour Himself. The seEondary and partial object is that Heart which was the seat or See also:organ of His love, and which forms the natural See also:symbol thereof. Heart and love are viewed, not physiologically, but in their moral connexion. The See also:chief liturgical expressions of this cult are the institution of a feast of the Sacred' Heart and public representations of it by statues and pictures.
Private See also:worship of 'See also:Christ's heart in particular is of See also:great antiquity in the Church, and is prominent in St Gertrude and other mystics. It was greatly stimulated in the 17th See also:century , by St See also:Francis of Sales (q.v.) who gave this symbol to his See also:- ORDER

- ORDER, HOLY
Order (the Visitation) as its badge. The See also:- VENERABLE (Lat. venerabilis, worthy of reverence, venerari, to reverence, to worship, allied to Venus, love; the Indo-Germ. root is wen-, to desire, whence Eng. " win, properly to struggle for, hence to gain)
Venerable Fr. Eudes must also be mentioned as a great propagator of the devotion, in the same century, and he was the first to obtain a certain public, though only " See also:local, authorization of the new pious practices. Blessed See also:Margaret See also:Mary See also:Alacoque (1647-169o), a Visitation See also:nun of ' Paray-le-Monial, assisted by her director, the Venerable See also:Claude de la Colombiere, S.J. (1641-1682), was the See also:instrument of the introduction of the specific worship of the Sacred Heartinto the Church by a decision of the supreme authority, although their See also:work only took effect See also:long after their See also:death.

James II., at the instance of the Visitation, petitioned in 1697 for a proper Feast of the Sacred Heart. Neither then, however, nor on the presentation of new petitions in 1726, was an affirmative See also:answer obtained. Meanwhile the chief objection, that of " novelty," was gradually removed by the multiplication of local manifestations, the genuineness of which was proved to the See also:satisfaction of the Roman See also:Congregation of Rights, and in 1765 it was allowed for houses of the Visitation and certain countries. It must be added that this devotion was strongly opposed, not only by the Jansenists, but by others within the Church, under the mistaken See also:idea that the Heart of Christ was viewed in it as See also:separate from the See also:rest of His Being. The formulation of this objection by the See also:synod of See also:Pistoia,l in 1786, however, only provoked a clearer explanation of the See also:doctrine, which contributed to confirm the cult. In 1856 See also:Pius IX. introduced the feast into the See also:general See also:calendar of the Roman Catholic Church, fixing the See also:Friday after the See also:Octave of Corpus Christi for its celebration. The See also:Beatification of Blessed M.M. AIacoque in 1864 gave a new impetus to the cause of which she had been the apostle.
