The shield of the Sacred Heart: what it is, its devotion

In the seventeenth century the pious Devotion of the Shield of the Sacred Heart was born:

The Lord asked Saint Margaret Maria Alacoque to have the image of His Heart reproduced, so that all those who wanted to honor him could put it in their homes, and he also asked her to make others smaller to carry on him. The Shield is an emblem with the image of the Holy Heart and the motto: "Stop, the Heart of Jesus is with me! Your Kingdom come to us! " and it is a powerful protection available to us against the dangers we face every day. We can put it or take it anywhere. So we say to the evil one: Alt! Stop every iniquity, every disordered passion, every evil, because the Heart of Christ protects us. But we also say to the Lord: Jesus I love you, I trust in you!
