As part of our Renewal from the Heartland, Archbishop Shawn McKnight invites all throughout the Archdiocese to consider enthroning the Sacred Heart of Jesus in their homes and renewing their trust in Christ’s love and mercy. This invitation takes on a special significance with the U.S. Bishops’ historic consecration of our nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus that occurred on June 11, in anticipation of America’s 250th anniversary. We are also invited to respond personally by placing the Sacred Heart at the center of our homes and family life.

The Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas has assembled several resources that may be adapted to fit the needs of your faith community. This includes a worship aid and a Sacred Heart image generously donated by local artist Jason Jenicke, though another image may be used for home enthronement.

• Home Enthronement: Families are encouraged to place Christ at the center of their home life. Enthroning an image of the Sacred Heart strengthens the domestic church.
• Local Sacred Artwork: Local artist Jason Jenicke has generously donated a Sacred Heart artwork piece. It serves as a beautiful focal point for home enthronements.

As a nation, we turn to His Heart for healing and guidance. You can download the Sacred Heart image and worship aid as well as watch an explanatory video on the Arch KCK Sacred Heart Consecration page at https://archkck.org/consecration-to-sacred-heart/
