About this Event
Come with us "into the deep" and learn how devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus owes its power and popularity to images. That devotion derives from the experiences of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, to whom the Lord revealed his Sacred Heart in a series of mystical apparitions. As a nun in the Visitation Order (founded by St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal), she knew the central role that the imagination plays in Salesian spirituality. In this webinar, we'll take a little tour through the evolution of that iconography to see how this spiritual tradition and these sacred images engender ideas, express meaning, excite passions, and invite reflections on the graces given to us in the Heart of Jesus.
Into the Deep will also be livestreamed at the following parishes. Please check the parish website for additional information and activities:
