Life

Anne Madeleine Rémusat entered the Order of the Visitation of Mary ( Salesian Sisters ) and made her profession on January 23, 1713 . On October 17, 1713, she had a vision of the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus . From then on she devoted herself to spreading this devotion. For this purpose, she wrote the manual of the perpetual adoration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus ( French : Manuel de l'Adoration perpétuelle du Sacré Cœur) . This handbook contains one of the then existing compilations of the litany on the heart of Jesus, which was published in 1899 by Pope Leo XIII. intended for the Church's official Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. With the support of the Bishop of Marseille , Henri François-Xavier de Belsunce-Castelmoron , she founded the Association of Perpetual Adoration of the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ (French: Association de l'Adoration perpétuelle du Sacré Cœur de Notre-Seigneur Jésus-Christ) . When the plague raged in Marseille, on her initiative - the Sacred Heart of Jesus gave her the commission for this in a vision - the archbishopric was consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on November 1, 1720. This consecration was the first major public act of devotion to the Heart of Jesus after Margareta Maria Alacoque 's visions of the Sacred Heart . Pope Leo XIII. opened her beatification process on December 24, 1891 .
