Description
As attested in ch. 5 of his autobiography, Bl. Henry Suso, O.P., inscribed the Name of Jesus into his breast with a stylus, but there is no indication that he or anyone else considered it a sacramental. It seems for him to have had the effects of a sacramental, conferring grace not ex opere operato ("from the work performed," as in the sacraments) but ex opere operantis (from his pious dispositions, as in the sacramentals).
