Every June we renew the consecration of our family to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It has been many years now since we enthroned our home to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus through Mary and June, the month of the Sacred Heart, serves as an annual reminder for us to examine how we are living our consecration and to strengthen our efforts to keep the world, the flesh and the devil out of our home.

I thought that the link would open up to the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and now my time limit to edit this is up, so please scroll down on the left after you open the link to find the Enthronement page in the list of Devotions to Our Lord. Sorry about that.

Also, directly after the Enthonement page you will also see a link to a page for the actual Ceremony of the Enthronement.

Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Of the many promises Our Lord Jesus Christ did reveal to Saint Margaret Mary in favor of souls devoted to His Sacred Heart the principal ones are as follows:

1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.
2. I will give peace in their families.
3. I will console them in all their troubles.
4. I will be their refuge in life and especially in death.
5. I will abundantly bless all their undertakings.
6. Sinners shall find in my Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
7. Tepid souls shall become fervent.
8. Fervent souls shall rise speedily to great perfection.
9. I will bless those places wherein the image of
My Sacred Heart shall be exposed and venerated.
10. I will give to priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts.
11. Persons who propagate this devotion shall
have their names eternally written in my Heart.
12. In the excess of the mercy of my Heart, I promise you that my all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in my displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and my Heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour.

Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is one of the main ways that Our Lord has given to us to protect our

Families in this evil time.

We should all avail ourselves of this very powerful and joyous protection that has been given to us by God.

Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus brings many Graces and Blessings on our Families.

It was always a big part of our family religious practice.

Another holy and beneficial devotion to the Sacred Heart is to wear the Sacred Heart Badge pinned to one's clothing. My parents pinned one to me at birth and I've worn it my entire life.

Sacred Heart Badge

Our Lord revealed to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque His wish for her to order a picture of the image of His Sacred Heart for people specifically to venerate and have in their homes and also small pictures to carry with them. St. Margaret Mary always kept a Sacred Heart badge with her and inspired her novices to do the same. She made many badges and often said this practice was very pleasing to the Sacred Heart.

The popularity of the Badge increased suddenly due to a very dramatic event in the city of Marseilles in France. In the year 1720, about thirty years after the death of St. Margaret Mary, Marseilles was ravaged by the plague. About one thousand persons died each day from the disease. Fear had reached near panic proportions. The Bishop of Marseilles asked the nuns of the city to make thousands of Sacred Heart Badges similar to the kind used by St. Margaret Mary and her friends. When the Badges were ready, the Bishop led a procession to the center of the city. There he consecrated Marseilles to the Sacred Heart, and everybody present put on a Sacred Heart Badge. From that moment not one new case of the plague was reported.

In 1870 a Roman lady, wishing to know the opinion of the Holy Father Pius IX about the Badge of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, presented him with one. Touched by the sight of this "emblem of salvation", the Pope approved the devotion forever and said: "This, Madam, this is an inspiration from Heaven. Yes, from Heaven." After a short moment of silence, he added: "I am going to bless this Heart and want all badges made after this model to receive the same blessing, so that in the future, it will not be necessary for the blessing to be renewed by a priest. And I want Satan to be unable to cause any harm to those who wear this Badge, symbol of the adorable Heart of Jesus."

Blessed Pope Pius IX granted an indulgence to all the faithful who wear this pious emblem and pray daily one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.

The Badge is a reminder of reparation by which we accept with love and faith our share in the sufferings of Christ. Thus we cooperate more closely with Christ in the vital work of the redemption of mankind by accepting the obligations of God's commandments, by our fidelity to the daily tasks of our state in life, by the patient acceptance of the trials, disappointments, and crosses thrust upon us each day.

Regarding devotion to His Sacred Heart, Our Lord revealed to St. Margaret Mary: "Those who propagate this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart never to be blotted out."

A beautiful prayer by Bl. Pope Pius IX:
Open Thy Sacred Heart O Jesus! Show me Its beauty and unite me with It forever. May the throbbing in all the movements of my heart, even during sleep, be a testimony of my love and tell Thee unceasingly: Yes, Lord Jesus, I adore Thee ... accept my poor little actions ... grant me the grace of repairing evil done ... so that I may praise Thee in time and bless Thee for all eternity.
