What is the devotion and how do we live it out?

Devotion to the Heart of Jesus is putting our love for Jesus in action through daily contemplation, prayer and acts of charity as a means to console His wounded Heart and make reparation to It for our sins and the sins of others.

 

Suggestions for Living out the Devotion:

• Prepare for and conduct an Enthronement ceremony in your home, church, school, or place of employment which ushers in a new of way of life that establishes the social reign and Kingship of Jesus over our families, parishes and society at large.

• Make a Daily offering in the morning of all your “prayers, works, joys and sufferings of the day” to the Heart of Jesus.

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day

for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart

in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world,

for the salvation of souls, the reparation of sins, the reunion of all Christians,

and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father this month.  Amen.

 

• Attend daily Mass whenever possible, where we recognize the Eucharist as the most complete gift of His heart, and the Source and Summit of our lives.

• Make a monthly holy hour on a Thursday night (at church or at home) in remembrance of Holy Thursday night when Jesus asked his friends to pray and keep watch with Him for one hour.

• Learn and Pray the Chaplet to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

• Seek to cultivate a spirit of reparation to the Heart of Christ in prayer and good works.

• Attend mass on the First Fridays of each month as our Lord requested and make a communion of reparation in which you thank the Lord for the loving sacrifices of His life.

• Tell others about the way your life and heart have been touched or transformed by the love that you have encountered through your devotion to His Heart.
