So many have embraced the three hearts - The Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and The Chaste Heart of St. Joseph. This devotion has gained recent popularity with the image of the three hearts on t-shirts and jewelry, but it has been practiced for centuries among the faithful and the saints. It is the Devotion to the Hearts of the Holy Family. The family is the heart of civilization, and the hearts of the Holy Family show us that all we need to know how love should exist within a family. Through the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced, crowned with thorns, but aflame with love, we see His unending and boundless love for us. In the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we witness the love of a mother, pierced with sorrow, but crowned in roses. In the Chaste Heart of Joseph, we see the heart of a protector, strengthened by his staff that blooms with flowers—a symbol of his faith and steadiness.
