Description

On Wednesday, June 20, 2018, host Pam Marvin interviewed Kristin Stravinsky, in the second half of the show about the devotional practice of home enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (the feast day was June 8). The materials and rites for an enthronement are provided and distributed by Our Lady's Blue Army. This venerable international Catholic organization arose, in response to the apparitions at Fatima, in 1947 under the direction of Msgnr. Harold Colgan. The Blue Army (officially the World Apostolate of Fatima) was only declared by the Catholic Church as a Public International Association of the Faithful in 2010.  Today, there are more than 40 million members of the Apostolate worldwide. Kristin is the Apostolate's national coordinator for the home enthronement program. She and Pam discussed the prayers and actions during a typical home enthronement and how it is such a good way of "sanctifying, protecting, enhancing, and preserving marriage and family life."

These are the twelve promises of Our Lord to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque for those who devote themselves to His Sacred Heart:

1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.
2. I will establish peace in their families.
3. I will console them in all their troubles.
4. They shall find in My Heart an assured refuge during life and especially at the hour of their death.
5. I will pour abundant blessings on all their undertakings.
6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source of an infinite ocean of mercy.
7. Tepid souls shall become fervent.
8. Fervent souls shall speedily rise to great perfection.
9. I will bless the homes where an image of My Heart shall be exposed and honored.
10. I will give to priests the power of touching the most hardened hearts.
11. Those who propagate this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be effaced.
12. The all-powerful love of My Heart will grant to all those who shall receive Communion on the First Friday of nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die under my displeasure, nor without receiving their Sacraments; My heart shall be their assured refuge at that last hour.
