The “great apparition” of June 1675 impacted the Catholic liturgical world!

St Margaret Mary, Visitandine nun, was to be “charged with a message that would affect the very liturgy of the Church,” writes Father Édouard Glotin. “Never before was a word received in the silence of prayer so resounding in the world.

Revealing his Heart to her, Jesus declares: “Behold this Heart which has so loved men […]. For gratitude, I receive nothing but ingratitude from most of them.” He asked that a feast be instituted “on the Friday after Corpus Christi.”

The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus!
