Italian original Cite

MESSENGER OF THE SACRED HEART. - Monthly periodical for the spread of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and of the Apostleship of Prayer, founded in Parma in 1864 by the Barnabite Father A. Maresca, in imitation of the Messager du Sacré Coeur, begun at Vals by the Jesuit H. Ramière in 1861.

The first two volumes are a translation of the French periodical of the same name: afterward the periodical became independent. Directed successively by Fathers A. Maresca, G. B. Vitali, D. Perilli, at the end of 1916 it passed to Rome under the direction of the Jesuits Aloisi Masella and G. Venturini.

The publication continues to this day, and regularly contains the commentary on the "monthly intentions," including the missionary ones, approved by the Pope and proposed to the members of the Apostleship of Prayer, meditations for the monthly retreat, biographies of saints and of particularly worthy persons, conversions, and a review of the interests of the Apostleship of Prayer. The periodical is accompanied by books and pamphlets on the same subject.
