Written by Margaret Yeo, this book was originally published in Britain in 1940 by Oates & Washbourne. Originally entitled, Blessed Claude de la Colombiere, Apostle of the Sacred Heart, and in the US, These Three Hearts. Blessed Claude de le Colombière, Saint Margaret Mary, and the Sacred Heart.

Written as the life of Blessed Claude de la Colombière, it journeys through his life and vocation as a Jesuit, as spiritual director to St Margaret Mary Alacoque, and as the chaplain of the Duchess of York, (later Queen Mary Beatrice of Modena), in England in the 1670s. Yeo brings to life the history of the period, and the holiness of these saints, including the most important revelations of the Sacred Heart, preached first, it would seem, in England to the Italian princess, her entourage, and those allowed into the chapel.
