Archbishop Burke encourages Enthronement of Sacred Heart

...the [A]rchbishop is recommending that Catholic families follow the traditional practice of Enthronement of the Sacred Heart in their homes.


"The Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus leads to a strong commitment to imitate the royal way of Christ, which is selfless love of others by the practice of the virtues," said [Archbishop Burke]. "If we are truly to live the mystery of the Holy Eucharist, of sharing with Christ in his Eucharistic Sacrifice, then Christ must be a constant companion, an always welcomed member of our household."

To assist Catholics in this, the archdiocesan Office of Worship has various devotional items available, including the Enthronement Home Ceremony Book.

For more information on Sacred Heart materials, call the Office of Worship at (314) 792-7231.
Every Catholic family should do this. Every pastor in the archdiocese should promote this and assist families with the enthronement.
