Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus --

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) approved the consecration of the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 2026 to accompany the country’s 250th anniversary. The dedication will take place on June 12, 2026 (the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart) 

To prepare for this event, you might want to think about the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and how He will fit in your life. I make a conscious effort to face an image of the Sacred Heart, or a statue, and say "Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner." I also pray the Liturgy of the Hours, Morning and Evening, and often, Night Prayer, every day - and that has prayers that are appropriate to honor Him. I pray these prayers because I am a member of the Order of Franciscan Secular.
