"Jesus told me that everywhere this holy image (of the Sacred Heart) would be exposed to be honored, He would pour forth His Graces and Blessings. He made me understand that this Devotion is like a last effort of His love, which wants to favor men with this loving redemption  in these latter times, to withdraw them from the empire of Satan, which He intends to destroy in order to put us under the sweet freedom of the empire of His love, which He wants to re-establish in the hearts of all those who will be willing to embrace this Devotion."  - St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
