Columbus, Ohio — The Sacred Heart Enthronement Network, a ministry in Columbus, Ohio, has kicked off a new campaign entitled the “Sacred Heart Revival”. The Sacred Heart Revival is encouraging Catholics everywhere to enthrone their home, business, classroom, or school to the Sacred Heart of Jesus this June. Enthronement is a practice of consecration prayers and displaying an image of the Sacred Heart in a prominent location.
Historically, the Catholic Church has dedicated the month of June to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The solemnity of the Sacred Heart is a moveable feast that falls on the Friday after the octave of Corpus Christi. It became a universal feast in 1856, and in 2023 the solemnity is celebrated on June 16. Many popes and saints have had a deep devotion to the Sacred Heart, including St. John Paul II, Pope Leo XIII, St. Aloysius Gonzanga, and St. Frances Cabrini.
The Sacred Heart Revival is promoting the devotion to the Sacred Heart by encouraging people around the world to commit to enthroning their home, business, classroom, or school this June. The purpose for enthronement is to dedicate the space as a “little Bethany” to welcome Jesus, so that he may share the graces of his Sacred Heart. The process of enthronement involves consecration prayers and the placement of an image of the Sacred Heart in a prominent place. The Sacred Heart Enthronement Network has kits available to help the process. More information about the Sacred Heart Revival, including free parish resources, can be found on the campaign website, www.sacredheartrevival.com.
“The Sacred Heart Revival is a perfect way to prepare for the jubilee to the Sacred Heart,” said Emily Jaminet, Executive Director of the Sacred Heart Enthronement Network. “Bishop Benoît Rivière in France declared a year and a half jubilee to celebrate the 350th anniversary of Jesus revealing the promises of the Sacred Heart to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, and as Catholics around the world prepare to celebrate this jubilee, enthronement is a great way to start.” The bishop declared the jubilee will start on December 27th, 2023—the 350th anniversary of the first apparition to St. Margaret Mary—and end on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart on June 27, 2025. The theme of the jubilee is “Giving back love for love”.
The devotion to the Sacred Heart goes back for centuries, but the apparitions to St. Margaret Mary starting in 1673 enflamed the devotion. In the apparitions, Jesus revealed his love for mankind, his sorrow at mankind’s ingratitude and indifference for his love, and his desire for a feast to celebrate the love of his Sacred Heart. Jesus also revealed to St. Margaret Mary twelve promises to those who had a devotion to his Sacred Heart.
The Sacred Heart Enthronement Network is a non-profit ministry headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Its mission is to spread the devotion to the Sacred Heart through the promotion of enthronement to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Its website is www.welcomehisheart.com.
