In 1921, Pope Benedict XV established the feast of The Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, writing:

"The chief reason of this feast is to commemorate the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the mystery of the Eucharist. By this means the Church wishes more and more to excite the faithful to approach this sacred mystery with confidence, and to inflame their hearts with that divine charity which consumed the Sacred Heart of Jesus when in His infinite love He instituted the Most Holy Eucharist, wherein the Divine Heart guards and loves them by living with them, as they live and abide in Him." 

THE DESIGN 

The front of the card is of Communion Hosts gathered in the shape of a heart with the Sacred Heart above its centre.
