While the other representations of Jesus are familiar in the Orthodox, and Byzantine world, and in the Protestant, this one is quite Roman Catholic. The Beloved Disciple of the Sacred Heart was St. Margaret Mary Alacoque *1647, 1690†. The devotion existed for centuries, but her affection and attachment was the most zealous in its wider practice.
