It traces the development of the Sacred Heart devotion from its biblical and medieval roots through its flourishing in 17th-century France, particularly via St. Marguerite-Marie Alacoque’s visions and Jesuit promotion, highlighting its deep entwinement with French Catholic identity amid political upheavals such as the French Revolution and World War I. The article explores how Teilhard’s family devotion to the Sacred Heart shaped his spiritual imagination and how he expanded traditional understandings by integrating the cosmic and evolutionary dimensions of Christ’s love, emphasizing the unity of personal devotion, Eucharistic participation, and active engagement with the world’s suffering. Finally, it reflects on Pope Francis’s 2024 encyclical *Dilexit Nos* ("He Loved Us"), which reaffirms the contemporary relevance of Sacred Heart spirituality as a source of transformative love and mission, encouraging believers to live from the “furnace of Christ’s wounded heart” in their own contexts. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Teilhard Studies is the property of American Teilhard Association and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
