Information from the back of the enclosed card reads:
The Badge Scapular of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
The tradition of wearing a small cloth image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was first initiated by
Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque, who herself made and handed them out to followers of Christ.
They were made of a small piece of woolen cloth, on which was a picture of the Heart of Jesus.
Originally it was worn as a badge and later it was also worn like a scapular on cords.
Our Lord revealed to St. Margaret Mary His wish for the people to have an image of
His Sacred Heart always with them to be venerated and honored.
