Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (17 October): Sacred Heart of Jesus

About this sermon

Discover the Sacred Heart of Jesus through this Catholic homily on St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, reparation, and the Nine First Fridays devotion. Beginning with Christ’s invitation to learn from His meek and humble Heart, the sermon explores how this devotion draws us deeper into His love. The homily considers the revelations received by St. Margaret Mary in seventeenth-century France and discusses their historical setting amid Jansenism. It reflects on the importance of Christ’s humanity, the reality of the Incarnation, and the sacramental life of the Church. It also recalls the support of her spiritual director, Claude de la Colombière, and the role of the Jesuits in spreading devotion to the Sacred Heart. The practice of nine consecutive First Fridays is presented within this call to love Jesus and make reparation for sins committed against Him. Through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, let us return to the Sacred Heart and seek the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge. These devotions invite us to grow in humility, gratitude, and faithful love. 00:00 Opening Music and Prayer 00:24 St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and Reparation 00:57 Why Jesus Revealed His Sacred Heart 01:30 “I Am Meek and Humble of Heart” 02:07 Devotion to the Humanity of Christ 02:34 The Historical Context of Jansenism 03:31 The Incarnation and the Sacramental Life 04:34 St. Margaret Mary and Her Spiritual Director 05:05 Spreading Devotion and the Feast of the Sacred Heart 05:29 The Nine First Fridays Devotion 05:46 Returning to Jesus Through Mary 06:16 Hidden Treasures and the Love of Christ 06:48 Adoration, Reparation, and Closing Prayer St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, pray for us.
