Parish Enthronement - Enthronement and Consecration Prayers

Parish Dedication Prayer

Normally said by the Celebrant after the Prayers of the Faithful. It is a great lead into the talk that will be take place after Communion, but more importantly it is a wonderful way to place the ENTIRE parish under the care of Jesus and Mary.

"Lord God I dedicate the parish of [parish name] to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and ask all members to unite their hearts and households in worship, thanksgiving, and loving service to Jesus. May we stand always strong against all evil by perseverance in faith and obedience to the teachings of Jesus and His Church. May we shine as a beacon to all with the light of His wisdom and love.
We ask Mary, our Heavenly Mother, to keep our parish close to her Immaculate Heart, and to extend her special protection over us in union with Jesus her son. As in all things we ask this in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen."

The Daily Offering Prayer

Six copies of this prayer are contained in the Enthronement Packet. People are encouraged to cut out the prayers and distribute to family members. This is a wonderful way to unite your day to the Heart of Jesus through Mary.

O my Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for sins, for the intentions of my family and friends, for the Holy Father, the Church and the souls in purgatory.

Thank you Lord for all Your gifts and blessings. Please keep us safe today in Your love and grace, through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary and all the angels and saints. Amen.

Prayers for the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

This prayer is contained on the Enthronement Scroll, which is the top page of the Enthronement Packet. On an Enthronement Weekend the Celebrant will lead the people in saying this prayer to help them spiritually prepare for the enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus that they will complete at home. They will come together as a family and say this prayer when they are ready to put the pictures of Jesus and Mary in their place of honor in the home.

CELEBRANT OR LEADER

Almighty and Everlasting God, bless and sanctify this Image of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Grant that whoever humbly strives to honor and serve Him, may obtain through His merits and intercession, grace in this life and everlasting happiness in the world to come. Let us Pray.

ALL

Eternal Father, we consecrate ourselves, all living and deceased members of our family, and our home, to the Sacred Heart of Your Son Jesus. May we return His most tender love, as He comes into the midst of our family to live and share our life in a special way from this day on.

We accept you, Sacred Heart of Jesus, as our loving King and Head of our family. Stay with us, Lord!

Sanctify our joys and comfort us in all our sorrows. May your Holy Spirit enlighten each of us to continually be aware of Your special Presence among us, especially in one another. Help us to have a deep and loving respect for one another, so that we may live this Consecration everyday.

Let our love go beyond our home into the world.

Guide us to do our part to win other families to Your Sacred Heart. Create through us a real community among the priests and families of our parish and of the whole world. Amen.

Prayers for the Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

This prayer is also contained on the Enthronement Scroll. After the prayers are said for the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Celebrant will also lead the people in saying this prayer in order to ask Our Blessed Mother to watch over our families and to lead us ever closer into the Heart of Jesus. This prayer will also be said in the home after the Enthronement Prayer above.

ALL

Queen of the Most Holy Rosary and tender Mother of all, to fulfill the desires of the Sacred Heart and the request of the Pope, His Vicar on earth, we consecrate our families and those of the whole world to your Immaculate Heart.

Please accept our consecration, dearest Mother Mary, and use all of us as you wish, to accomplish your designs upon the world, for peace and for the salvation of all souls.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth, and of our family, rule over us always in union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, Our King. Amen.
