“He promised to pour out into the hearts of all those who honor the image of His Heart all the gifts it contains in fullness, and for all those who would wear this image on their persons He promised to imprint His love on their hearts and to destroy all unruly inclinations. Everywhere this holy image was exposed to be honored, He would pour fourth His graces and blessings. This blessing was, as it were, a final effort of His love. He wanted to bestow upon men during these final centuries such loving redemption in order to snatch them from the control of Satan, whom He intended to destroy.” - the Sacred Heart
These are the words of the Sacred Heart to St. Margaret Mary during one of her many apparitions. Our Savior Himself has given us an image with which to honor Him, which is why no Catholic home should be without a Sacred Heart of Jesus picture. Displaying a traditional Sacred Heart painting or artwork brings beautiful graces to families who practice this devotion, and it has become customary to ceremonially enthrone the image, making the Sacred Heart the King of the family.
A Sacred Heart image is traditionally placed in a prominent, central area of the home, such as the living room or main hallway, where the family gathers. This serves as a daily visual reminder of Christ's presence and blessings in the household.Are these Sacred Heart art prints and plaques ready to hang?
Our standard art prints are available framed or unframed. Holy cards are pocket-sized and designed for personal use or placing in a small desktop frame. The plaques come with a picture stand and do not hang straight on a wall.
Displaying these two images together reflects the deep spiritual bond between Jesus and His Mother.
Father Mateo Crawley-Boevey, a South American priest of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, was inspired by God, after his instantaneous cure at Paray-le-Monial, to preach everywhere the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart to verify this promise of the Savior given to St. Margaret Mary: "I will bless every dwelling where an image of My Heart is both exposed and honored."
According to Father Mateo: The Enthronement is the Official and Social Recognition of the loving Kingship of the Heart of Jesus in a Christian family. This recognition is made manifest by giving the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus a place of honor in the home which is thus solemnly offered Him by an act of consecration. The God of infinite mercy said in Paray-le-Monial: "Being Myself the fount of all blessings, I will distribute these abundantly wherever the image of My Heart has found a place, to the end that it may be loved and honored." And further: "I shall reign in spite of My enemies and all those who attempt to oppose Me."
The Enthronement then is simply the realization, not of this or that one of the requests made by Our Savior to St. Margaret Mary, but the complete and integral realization of all of them, calling forth the fulfilment of the splendid promises with which the King of Love has enriched them. Note that we say "integral realization of all the requests made in Paray, for the supreme end of the Enthronement is not, and ought not to be, to further a new pious practice, but to sanctify the home, and convert it into a living and social throne for the divine King."
During the Enthronement ceremony, a blessed image of the Sacred Heart is hung in the most prominent place in the home, and Sacred Scripture is placed before it. Formal prayers are prayed and then each member signs a certificate of the Consecration.
A large framed art print or statue is ideal for a home enthronement ceremony, as it creates a beautiful, permanent focal point for family prayer. For a simpler house blessing, smaller picture can be used.
