The United States bishops are consecrating our country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 11, 2026. The choice of this year is in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of our nation. There are resources available for the day of consecration on the USCCB website: https://www.usccb.org/weholdthesetruths
For those who would like to prepare their hearts for this consecration, I have compiled a 33-day preparation that takes us through the hearts of Joseph and Mary to help us arrive at the Heart of Jesus. This preparation consists of daily readings from scripture and from spiritual authors, along with some prayers to help you return to your own heart and then consecrate your heart to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the hearts of Joseph and Mary.
This preparation was inaugurated by the seminarians, faculty and administration of St. Vincent Seminary in Latrobe, PA on the eve of the feast of St. Joseph the Worker (April 30, 2026). Immediately after the Seminary was consecrated, there was a profound sign of divine favor in the form of a magnificent rainbow.
By starting the consecration on May 9, you will conclude on the day that the bishops consecrate the country to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Please subscribe to this blog to receive the readings and prayers each day. Don’t worry if you join a day or two late. It’s easy to catch up!
