Who Spoke of Divine Love in the 18th century? The Work of Jesuits from Lublin, Krasnystaw and Łaszczów in Spreading the Cult of the Heart of Jesus

Abstract

The article presents a prosopographical analysis of the 18th-century prefects of the Brotherhood of the Heart of Jesus from the Jesuit colleges in Lublin and Krasnystaw and the residence in Łaszczów. On the basis of personal catalogues – short (catalogus brevis) and three-year (catalogus triennalis) – a total of forty-seven priests have been identified who undertook the mission of spreading devotion to the Heart of Jesus. Their great mobility is remarkable. Most of them performed the indicated ministry only once during their stay in the order. The analysis of the catalogues also showed that the guardian of this confraternity could be any priest, regardless of age, seniority in the Society of Jesus, or tasks performed. In Lublin and Krasnystaw, most of the prefects of the Brotherhood of the Heart of Jesus were young teachers, while in Łaszczów the majority were Jesuits working in the field of traditional pastoral ministry.
