The Story Behind the Shirt
A French nun said Christ showed her his heart: aflame, wounded, ringed with thorns. At Paray-le-Monial in the 1670s, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque recorded the Heart she saw “in a throne of flames,” with its wound, a crown of thorns and a cross above. In 1899 Pope Leo XIII approved the Litany of the Sacred Heart for public prayer; each invocation of the Heart of Jesus ends, “have mercy on us.”
On the back: the Sacred Heart in fine engraving, ringed with a crown of thorns, its wound visible and flames rising to a cross, in a burst of light above the banner “Sacred Heart of Jesus” and “Have mercy on us.” On the chest: the original 1765 A Co. mark in our founder's own hand. More in The Sanctum.
