Saint John Eudes, whom Pope Pius XI called “a wonderful herald of eternal truths,” was the leading proponent in the seventeenth century of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary; he wrote the propers to the Mass and Divine Office for the devotion as well as composing litanies, salutations, and consecrations for its practice.
