I wish I knew about the Sacred Heart a little bit more but every time I try to look for a video on it on YouTube I get a bunch of videos about how the Divine Mercy Chaplet is basically an evil rip off of it. These people are not doing the Church any good. I am devoted to the Chaplet of Divine Mercy so that makes me really frustrated. I also would like to say that that makes a lot of people who would otherwise be interested in the Sacred Heart devotion uninterested I would imagine
Skip the videos. Read about both. Start with the internet, yes, then read books about each. As Father said, they complement each other. In our living room, we have a large picture of the Divine Mercy on one wall, and large pictures of the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts on another wall.

Don’t get frustrated. The world has been full of people incapable of critical thinking since the first individual who lacked that ability - Adam. Just because someone does not have enough sense to come in out of rainstorm - let alone find out what the Church says about something as opposed to their favorite twit’s bias - is no reason to let them bother you. As some sage remarked,“consider the source”.
Novenas are not “either/or”; they are “both/and”. There is no reason not to try both, in their own time. If there is one you are more attracted to, that is not a dismissal of the other; it is just a preference.
