RENEWAL OF THE

ENTHRONEMENT OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

You have proclaimed the Sacred Heart of Jesus as the King of ______. Here are some ways that can help you keep the Enthronement alive.

Say this renewal prayer daily:

Dear Sacred Heart of Jesus, we renew our pledge of love and loyalty to you. Keep us always close to your loving Heart, and to the most Immaculate Heart of your Mother. May we love one another more each day, forgiving each other’s faults as you forgive us our sins. Teach us to see you in the members of our family and those we meet outside the home, loving them as you love them, especially the poor and oppressed, that we may be instrumental in bringing about justice and peace.

Please help us carry our cross daily out of love for you and help us strengthen this love by frequent participation in the Celebration of the Eucharist. Thank you, dear Jesus, for all the blessings of this day. Protect us and all families during this night. Help us to live that we might get to heaven.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy Kingdom come!

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for our family!

St. Joseph, friend of the Sacred Heart, pray for us!

Our patron saints and guardian angels, pray for us! Amen.

On certain occasions gather around your Sacred Heart shrine for a more formal renewal of the consecration. For this purpose you may use the act of Consecration used on the day of your Enthronement.

Suggested occasions for this more solemn renewal are:

First FridaysBirthdaysWeddings

On the anniversary of your Enthronement, or if you move, it is suggested that you repeat the entire ceremony. It is also suggested that you complete the Preparation Novena prior to your renewal ceremony. In this way you give a new token of your love for the Sacred Heart of Jesus and ask for His continued blessings.

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, You revealed to St. Margaret Mary your desire to rule over nations and families.

It is our desire to make a covenant of love with You. From now on we are determined to live Your life. In this special family we want to see flourish the virtues to which You promised peace on earth. We desire to keep far from us the spirit of the world which You have condemned. You will rule over our minds by the sincerity of our faith. You will rule over our hearts by our ardent love for You alone, and we will keep this fire of love ever burning in our hearts by frequent Mass and Communion and intimate prayer.

Deign O Divine Heart, to preside over our gatherings, to bless our undertakings both spiritual and temporal, to ward off all dangers, to sanctify our joys and to lighten our sufferings. If one of us should have the misfortune of displeasing You, remind him or her, O Sacred Heart, that You are full of goodness and mercy towards the repentant sinner.

And when this organization, its directors, administrators, professional and support staff and benefactors, and those they serve, are faced with tragedy of any kind, even death, we shall all bow humbly before your eternal decrees. This shall be our consolation: to remember that the day will come when our entire special family, once more united in heaven, shall be able to sing of Your glory and Your goodness forever. May the Immaculate Heart of Mary and glorious Patriarch Saint Joseph vouchsafe to offer You this, our act of consecration, and to keep the memory thereof alive in us all the days of our lives.

Glory to the Heart of Jesus, our King and our Friend!
