This church is truly a spiritual place. I was moved to tears just being inside of it (and I’ve NEVER been moved to tears in any other holy place!).

A website explains that Montmartre (where the Sacred Heart is located) is the “revered scene where the first martyrs of Paris met their death, and site of a famous abby of Benedictine nuns, visited by Saint Bernard, Saint Joan of Arc, Saint Ignatius Loyola, Saint Francis Xavier, Berulle (found of the Oratorians) and Olier.”

It doesn’t say they were on this site, but I feel that this church holds their spirits (among others).
