Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a devotion that takes place in your home and includes a brief ceremony facilitated by trained ministers. This devotion is an invitation to bring Jesus’ Heart full of love into your home, the domestic church. The ritual of the Enthronement is a two-fold action of installing a blessed image of the Sacred Heart in a prominent place in your home and making a covenant of love with Jesus. Our Lord in turn will honor this covenant by bestowing the 12 promises that he gave to St. Margaret Mary Alocoque (listed below). After scheduling your enthronement, you will receive more information including a 3 day novena which is to be prayed beforehand. Please call the parish office with any questions or to schedule your enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
The 12 Promises:
I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.
I will establish peace in their families.
I will console them in all their troubles.
They shall find in My Heart an assured refuge during life and especially at the hour of their death.
I will pour abundant blessings on all their undertakings.
Sinners shall find in My Heart the source of an infinite ocean of mercy.
Tepid souls shall become fervent.
Fervent souls shall speedily rise to great perfection.
I will bless the homes where an image of My Heart shall be exposed and honored.
I will give to priests the power of touching the most hardened hearts.
Those who propagate this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be effaced.
The all-powerful love of My Heart will grant to all those who shall receive Communion on the First Friday of nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die under my displeasure, nor without receiving their Sacraments; My heart shall be their assured refuge at that last hour.
