"Welcoming Jesus into your home as King, Savior, and Friend, through the enthronement to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is a conscious decision to place Jesus at the center of your lives and home. This devotion is unique because it has been spoken about in papal letters and is centered on the love of Jesus Christ."
