The origin of the Sacred Heart Devotion is very ancient, roots of it can be found as early as the second century. St. Bernard and St. Anselm in the 12th century promoted it, as well as Sts. Gertrude and Mechtild.
The Divine Mercy became well known from the diary of St. Faustina, a Polish nun in the 20th century.
Both of these devotions are covered in the links below.
