Abstract

Contribution by many religious priests (Benedictines, Cistercians, Dominicans, Franciscans and Jesuits) to the devotion of Sacred Heart has improved its theological roots. The article lists priests who conducted the study of Biblical and patristic sources of the cult of Sacred Heart. Their prayer, meditation and contemplation deepened the truth of the Gospel and Tradition. The worship of Sacred Heart is rooted in the Word of God and in it’s Patristic interpretation, but it’s theological development and the intervention of God through Marguerite Marie Alacoque brought to the approval of the cult by the Church.
