The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris, commonly known as Sacré-Cœur Basilica and often simply Sacré-Cœur, is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, consecrated in 1919. In contrast to the Gothic churches of the Middle Ages like Notre-Dame de Paris (1163-1240), the style is inspired by churches such as Saint Sofia in Constantinople and San Marco in Venice.

The neglected statue was outside a closed up building, owned then or previously by the Catholic Church, in back of Carondelet St. Joseph's Hospital in Tucson, Arizona. The relentless desert sun had clearly had a cumulative effect. Someone had placed a few small rocks (not a surprising offering in the desert) in the right hand.
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.

Sacred Heart Catholic Church was constructed in 1905 in downtown Tampa, Florida and is one of the oldest churches in the city of Tampa. The church, located at 509 N. Florida Avenue, is predominantly a Romanesque structure, with other elements. The church is home to Sacred Heart Parish, part of the West Hillsborough Deanery of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saint Petersburg.
The first Catholic parish on Florida's West Coast was established in 1860 and named St. Louis Parish in honor of Fr. Luis de Cancer, a Dominican missionary who was martyred on the shores of Tampa Bay in 1549. The initial wooden-frame building called St. Louis Church was erected on the site where Sacred Heart stands today. In 1888, the Jesuits took over the pastoral responsibilities of the parish, after a serious outbreak of yellow fever in Tampa took the lives of three diocesan priests. Using Tampa as their base, the Jesuits were given the responsibility of all of South Florida by Bishop Moore. In 1905, a new Church was constructed in Romanesque style and the parish was renamed Sacred Heart.
As Tampa grew, so did the parish, and by 1897 it was decided that a new church was needed. Construction on the church began with a groundbreaking on February 16, 1898, with the laying of the cornerstone taking place on February 4, 1900. The dedication of Sacred Heart Church took place on January 15, 1905, and at that time the parish was renamed Sacred Heart Parish.
The architect for the new Sacred Heart Church was Nicholas J. Clayton of Galveston, TX, who designed many Roman Catholic Churches in Texas and throughout the southern United States. The granite and marble structure includes a 135-foot dome, solid oak pews and doors, porcelain tiles, and a Carrara marble altar. Its 70 stained glass windows were designed and manufactured for Sacred Heart by Franz Mayer & Co. of Munich, Germany. The facility is a popular location for weddings, having hosted weddings for some parish families going back as many as six generations.
The parish operated a school, Sacred Heart Academy, which it established in 1931, on Florida Avenue in the city's Tampa Heights neighborhood. However, due to the changing demographics of the immediate area, Sacred Heart Academy was forced to close at the end of the 2011–12 school year. Previously affiliated with Sacred Heart Parish was another Tampa institution, Jesuit High School, founded in 1899, which thrives today.
In 2005, after the 100th anniversary of Sacred Heart Church, the Jesuit community which had long served the parish withdrew in order to concentrate on their academic institutions throughout the South. The fourth bishop of the Diocese of St. Petersburg, Most Rev. Robert Lynch, invited the Franciscan Friars of the Most Holy Name of Jesus Province to assume the pastoral responsibilities for the parish. The current pastor is Father Stephen Mimnaugh, OFM. In 2010 the Diocese of St. Petersburg added a Catholic Heritage Marker to the church exterior, recognizing its historic significance.

Breve o dia, breve o ano, breve tudo.
Não tarda nada sermos.
Isto, pensando, me de a mente absorve
Todos mais pensamentos.
O mesmo breve ser da mágoa pesa-me,
Que, inda que magoa, é vida.

The Romanesque basilica of the Sacred Heart in the small town of Paray-le-Monial in southern Burgundy, is a Mediæval masterpiece known throughout the world.
Paray was a priory of the abbey of Cluny, and after a first church was built here and consecrated in 977, the one we see today was erected around 1050 and designed probably by Saint Hugo himself, abbot of Cluny.
It looks like a reduced, simplified copy of the gigantic church of Cluny, the largest church in Christendom ever until Saint Peter of Rome was rebuilt in the 16th century. That church, dubbed “Cluny III”, was mostly destroyed at the beginning of the 19th century, which is also why Paray is a very interesting testimony, architecturally speaking.
Reminiscent of that of Cluny III, only on a smaller scale, the magnificent chevet with its cascade of apse, roofs and chapels.
February 24, 2022 will be remembered in History as the sad and shameful day on which dictator Putin launched his attack on free and democratic Ukraine. To see something like this happening at the gates of Europe in the 21st century is almost unbelievable and shows us that barbaric times and practices will decidedly go on for as long as the human species exists, in spite of our all Olympic Games and United Nations and modern means of communication between world leaders...

Yonkers, New York, just north of New York City. The church in the photo is Sacred Heart RC Church.
Thank you for all your comments and visits, much appreciated.
I visited Maryvale institute in Oscott, Birmingham. The centre is a catholic institute and in the centre there is this small chapel commenting the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It was built in 1814 and was used by Cardinal Newman when he was working in Birmingham. The detail in the small area was beautiful.
Well, Friday night was prom night for the last time in household. My daughter, third from the left in blue, and her girls had a great time. As a photographer, I wished it was a little cloudier, as the light was hard, but they enjoyed the weather. Don't they look stunning!

The southern arm of the transept. Even though this church was built in the 11th century only, the use of arcs brisés (“‘pointy’ arches”) allowed the builders to dare go quite high, and still open significant windows in the upper part of the wall.
One of ten sacred heart ATCs. Be sure to check out the group photo of these. I am going to post a link to the art that I used as a reference for these. These five are available for trade here on Flickr. I will be posting four on ATCs for All.

Fort Belknap Indian Reservation, Montana; also known as "The Pink Church", built in 1931 as a Catholic mission church. The church closed in 1964 but the cemetery is still in use.
“The Blessed Sacrament is the Invention of Love. It [the Blessed Sacrament] is life and fortitude for souls, a remedy for every fault, and viaticum for the last passage from time to eternity. In it, sinners recover life for their souls; tepid souls true warmth, fervent souls tranquility…saintly souls" – St Margaret Mary Alacoque whose feast is on 16 October.

The devotion to the Sacred Heart is one of the most widely practiced and well-known devotions, taking Jesus Christ′s physical heart as the representation of his divine love for humanity.
The devotion is especially concerned with what the Church deems to be the long suffering love and compassion of the heart of Christ towards humanity.

The transept and choir.
The exterior of Tampa's Sacred Heart Church is classically gothic! I love it!
