<\/a><\/p>\nIt never ceases to amaze me when, both strangers and friends alike enter our home, we always hear them say, \u201cIt is so peaceful in here.\u201d They say it with their eyes peeled on the portrait of Jesus that hangs on our mantle, with statues of St. Joseph and the Virgin Mary, anchored on each end of the mantle.<\/p>\n
In the past six years Jesus has poured out many blessings to my husband and me. He has set my heart on fire to evangelize in His name. Yet it is promise #11 that I treasure the most; to have my name written on Jesus\u2019 heart forever!<\/p>\n
It has been stated many times that if you want to get closer to Jesus, seek out Mary, for she will lead you to Him. Yet for me, it was the other way around! With the Enthronement of our Home to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, it was Jesus who brought me closer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.<\/p>\n
About four years ago, I was inspired to read Father Michael Gaitley\u2019s book, 33 Days to Morning Glory<\/em>. It is a modern day version of Consecration to Jesus through Mary, initially established by St. Louis de Montfort. I started the \u201cretreat\u201d on the Feast of St. Anthony of Padua (my favorite saint) and concluded the retreat 33 days later on the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Every year since, I re-consecrate my heart to Jesus through Mary, beginning on June 13th<\/sup>, by re-reading 33 Days to Morning Glory.<\/em> Every year, due to my growth in faith, and with the eyes of faith, I learn something new about my spiritual mother, Mary by re-reading this book. If you are looking for a way to grow closer to Christ and His mother, I highly recommend both enthroning your home and consecrating your heart to Jesus through Mary.<\/p>\n
