Enthronement of the Sacred Heart
Devotion to Christ
The solemn installation of an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the home, recognizing Christ as King of the family.
Background
Promoted by Father Mateo Crawley-Boevey with the encouragement of Pope Saint Pius X, the enthronement responds to Christ's desire, revealed to Saint Margaret Mary, to reign over Christian families.
How to practice
After preparation, gather the household and a priest if possible, bless and install an image of the Sacred Heart in a place of honor, read the act of consecration of the family to the Sacred Heart, and renew the consecration each year.
