Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in China
Every Chinese family has the typical image of the Sacred Heart, even after the social and political upheavals and the atheistic propaganda of the regime. The first church dedicated to the Sacred Heart dates back to 1863: destroyed in the cultural revolution, it was rebuilt in 1999. Devotion and consecration to the Sacred Heart has sustained the lives of missionaries and their evangelization: among these, Arnold Janssen, Josef Freinademetz, and Daniele Comboni. It would be advisable, however, to revise the iconography, using the calligraphy of the "heart". The Heart of Jesus and the heart of the martyrs united in the canonization of 2000.
