A powerful new faith-based film, Sacred Heart: His Reign Has No End, is bringing the centuries-old devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus to the big screen, inviting audiences to rediscover the depth of Christ’s love, mercy and compassion for humanity.
The French docudrama explores the spiritual experiences of St Margaret Mary Alacoque, a 17th-century Catholic nun who reported receiving visions of Jesus Christ at Paray-le-Monial, France. Through these encounters, Jesus revealed the significance of His Sacred Heart as a symbol of His divine and unconditional love for the world.
Directed and produced by filmmakers Steven and Sabrina Gunnell of KREA Film-Makers, the production combines historical reenactments, interviews with priests, religious figures, historians and theologians, as well as personal testimonies from individuals whose lives have been transformed through their devotion to Christ.
The film also examines the historical development of the Sacred Heart devotion, highlighting its connection to the Eucharist and the central place of the Virgin Mary in Catholic spirituality. It explores how the message revealed to St Margaret Mary continues to inspire faith, spiritual renewal and hope among Christians today.
Originally released in Europe in October 2025, the film attracted considerable attention, particularly in France, where it recorded significant cinema attendance. According to EWTN News, it sold nearly one million tickets across Europe.
Its US theatrical release took place in June 2026 through Fathom Entertainment, with special screenings also organised for parish communities, schools and Christian ministries.
Beyond its historical account, Sacred Heart: His Reign Has No End seeks to remind viewers that God’s love remains powerful in a world experiencing suffering, division and uncertainty. Through the testimonies featured in the film, audiences are encouraged to deepen their relationship with Jesus and embrace the message of mercy, forgiveness and love.
The film offers an opportunity for Christians, particularly those interested in Catholic history and spirituality, to learn more about the Sacred Heart devotion and its enduring significance in the life of the Church.
