The power of the revelations of Jesus himself that guides the Church.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In recent times, the laity has heard more and more from the mouths of many priests who say, with enormous lightness, prejudice, and lack of information, “I do not believe in apparitions.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

They even go so far as to treat the laymen as credulous and fanciful, not very serious and immature, when they refer to apparitions.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In their excessive clericalism, they assume that the decrees of the Church are absolutely independent of the apparitions.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

However, many emblematic devotions of the Church arose from apparitions, were developed by devotions, and sustained and justified by them.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

God was leading the Church by appearances, as he did to the Jews in the Old Testament.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of the devotions originate from apparitions, such as the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And they were developed and enriched by them, such as the appearance of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here we want to talk about how the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus arose and especially how it developed and enriched, linked to the Holy Eucharist, in the devotion to the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The apparitions of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus are part of the development of the apparitions of the Sacred Heart, which began with the 12th-century Benedictine mystic Saint Gertrude, to whom Jesus showed His Heart full of love.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

They continued with the apparitions of the Sacred Heart to Saint Margaret Mary of Alacoque in Paray-le-Monial, France, in the 17th century, to whom Jesus showed His Heart, and tells her that He is saddened because so few love him and many treat Him with ingratitude, irreverence, contempt, and coldness, especially the consecrated.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And they developed with the Blessed Mary of the Divine Heart, from the 19th century, who was asked by the Sacred Heart to manage the consecration of the world to His Heart before the Pope, a Consecration made by Leo XIII in 1899.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

At the same time that the Sacred Heart inspired Blessed Mary of the Divine Heart, it also inspired the laywoman Sophie Prouvier to develop devotion to the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

She received an apparition from Jesus on January 22, 1854, in the Oratory of the Sisters of the Refuge, of the Hospital Santiago de Besan\u00e7on, France.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

She said she was driven by a mysterious force to enter the chapel where the Blessed Sacrament was.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And she saw Jesus showing her His Heart from the bottom of the tabernacle, Who with a tone of lamentation said to her,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI am the Eucharistic Heart\u2026 I thirst to be loved in the Blessed Sacrament\u2026 Many souls surround me, but they do not console me\u2026 My Heart asks for love, as the poor ask for bread\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/em> [scroll for more]”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
