Another question for the gallery ... Is this image sufficient for a consecration/enshrinement/enthronement of our home to the Sacred Heart? It is a Divine Mercy image with a Sacred Heart in it.



I was asked whether this ceremony was being done for us by one of the Sacred Heart members or a priest. Our priest does it along with the Missionaries of Charity. Many of our friends have encouraged us to do this. We are supposed to pray a novena and then the priest and the sisters come out to our house for the ceremony. It seemed fairly straightforward although I must admit some confusion has arisen recently about what images are acceptable etc.

See St. Margaret Mary Alacoque - Sacred Heart - Vatican museum for one of my favorite Sacred Heart images.

I am looking for nice Sacred Heart images so we can consecrate our home to the Sacred Heart. This is my favorite so far. Does anyone have a different favorite Sacred Heart image?

Which reminds me, I need to continue posting the full size versions of the images I used with my rosary application.

The fifth sorrowful mystery -- The Crucifixion.

The cover of Magnificat this month has a stunning painting.

"Virgin in Prayer" by Giovanni Battista Silva
