Scapular of white fabric with the image of the Sacred Heart, a sign of consecration and trust in the merciful love of Christ.
Documented history and memory received
The scapular of the Sacred Heart belongs to the family of objects of piety linked to the consecration to the love of Christ. It must be distinguished from the Stop, although it shares iconography, and from the scapulars associated with religious orders. Its legitimate use refers to prayer and Christian life; no particular privileges or promises are affirmed without an identifiable decree.
Who venerates the memory
The look is directed to Jesus Christ and to the mystery of his Incarnation, Passion, Death, Resurrection or Reign. The image, relic, monument or custom does not act by its own power: it serves the memory of the Gospel and leads to prayer, sacraments, conversion and charity.
History, tradition and discernment
Sacramental of distinguished popular piety of the Stop; no privileges are attributed without identifiable document. The tab retains the memory received without turning legend, witness or believing interpretation into a historically demonstrated fact.
Celebration and devotional life
Festivity or main time: without own liturgical date documented in the main source.
No automatic guarantee of protection, healing, salvation or favor is documented. Christian practice requires faith, conversion, sacraments and charity; no object acts as an amulet.
