The following Text is from PRECES-LATINAE

In 1899, Pope Leo XIII approved this Litany of The Sacred Heart of Jesus for public use.

This Litany is actually a synthesis of several other Litanies dating back to the 17th-Century.

Father Croiset composed a Litany in 1691, from which seventeen Invocations were used by Venerable Anne Madeleine Remuzat, when she composed her Litany in 1718 at Marseilles.

She joined an additional ten Invocations to those of Father Croiset, for a total of twenty-seven Invocations. Six more Invocations, written by Sister Madeleine Joly, of Dijon, France, in 1686, were added by The Sacred Congregation for Rites when it was approved for public use in 1899.

This makes a total of thirty-three Invocations, one for each year of life of Our Lord Jesus Christ. A Partial Indulgence is attached to this Litany.
