Solemn Act of Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Last Saturday (October 17, 2009), was a very special day. That day, being the Feast of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a Solemn Act of Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary took place at our family home in Tracy, California, USA. We started the day with the 10AM Traditional Latin Mass (low mass) at St. Margaret Mary's Church (Oakland, California, USA) which concluded with the recitation of the Holy Rosary with the Blessed Sacrament exposed, followed by a Benediction. Later that day, at 3pm, the Enthronement Program at our home started with Canon Jean-Marie Moreau blessing the Statue of Our Lady of Lourdes and the Stations of the Cross at our backyard. Canon Moreau proceeded then to bless my wife's car, followed by the blessing of the home where Holy Water was sprinkled in each room. Then we prayed the Solemn Act of Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary with a few friends (mostly the Young Adults Catechism Class) from St. Margaret Mary joining us. Lastly, the Enthronement Certificate was signed by us (Me and my wife, Agnes) and by Canon Moreau.
