A side chapel there was renamed the Chapel of the Sacred Heart in 1920, when an 18th-century image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was enshrined above the altar.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">In honor of the 350th anniversary of the apparitions of the Sacred Heart to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, the Knights of Columbus is sponsoring the restoration the 325-year-old chapel, as well as the renowned image itself. The 1767 painting by Italian artist Pompeo Batoni will also serve as the centerpiece of the Order’s upcoming Pilgrim Icon Program.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Supreme Officers gathered at the Church of the Gesù on Oct. 23 for Mass and a briefing on the restorations by Jesuit Father Claudio Pera, the church’s rector, and the restoration team.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William Lori celebrated a votive Mass of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in the chapel with Jesuit Father James Conn, superior of the Pontifical North American College’s Casa Santa Maria, concelebrating.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">In his homily, Father Conn called devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus “the symbol of the boundless and passionate love of God for humankind” and reflected on the all-encompassing intentions of the traditional “Morning Offering” prayers to the Sacred Heart.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“I was very pleased to know that the Knights of Columbus had decided to reproduce this image and to share it with all of their members, especially during this coming Holy Year,” Father Conn added. “It occurred to me that that is what we seek as we contemplate the intentions of the Most Sacred Heart: What is it that Jesus desires? What is it that he hopes for? What is it that he desires of us and the world, seeking to redeem all mankind? It is our privilege, not just to reproduce this image, but to reproduce the reality of the boundless and compassionate love of God in our own lives and in our care for our brothers and sisters.”</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Pope Francis discussed these themes in his new encyclical dedicated to the Sacred Heart<em>, <a title="Dilexit nos" href="https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents/20241024-enciclica-dilexit-nos.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dilexit nos (He loved us)</a></em>, published the next day.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“The heart of Christ, as the symbol of the deepest and most personal source of his love for us, is the very core of the initial preaching of the Gospel,” the pope wrote. “It stands at the origin of our faith, as the wellspring that refreshes and enlivens our Christian beliefs” (32).</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">On Nov. 3, at the Midyear Membership Meeting of State Deputies, the supreme knight reflected on the Sacred Heart of Jesus in light of the encyclical, encouraging all Knights to make devotion to the Sacred Heart a priority in their families.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“Devotion to the Sacred Heart is simple — it reminds us of God’s love for us. And it’s meant to inspire our love in return for Christ,” the supreme knight told the state deputies. “In many ways, this encyclical is perfect for the Knights of Columbus. The pope writes that we live in a fragmented and divided society, but the heart of Christ is a unifying center. The heart of Christ is the source of truth and goodness that we all need.”</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </section> </section> <section class="col-article__related-articles bg-colorExtraLightGrey">
