Monsignor Pope Ping from OSV column
Several I have visited the Shrine in Stockbridge. It often feels like a pilgrimage, rather than just a visit.
Communal rosaries, confessions, and after the Divine Mercy Chaplet is prayed, one of the Brothers leads the congregants in the Benediction of the Holy Sacrament. Beautiful.
Also, an old car (Acura?) is parked there; and the story goes,’Padre Pio appeared to a man as a hitchhiker and the driver was miraculously cured from a terminal cancer.’
I recommend a visit...
“Q. I wanted to know if there is a connection between the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Heart of Divine Mercy...”
Yes. The Sacred Heart of Jesus is a licit church approved devotion.
The other devotion mentioned was promoted by anti-pope anti-saint John Paul II in concert with the efforts arising out of “Vatican II” apostacy to exercise the new found freedoms to trash holy Mother Church and spit upon her true saints once again. This time by establishing a cult amongst vulnerable “faithful adherents of the Vatican II Novus church” along the lines of “new forms of worship and devotion, often enough ridiculous, usually useless immitations or corruptions of similar ones which are already legitimately established...” as presented in the linked pdf article.
