We recently had our home enthroned (the family is enthroned, the “house” is just the house…) to The Sacred Heart of Jesus and The Immaculate Heart of Mary and are very happy about it. As time goes on we are beginning to see real fruits in having placed Christ as the head of the home; I think it is helping me to grow as a husband and father in tremendous ways. The Sacred Heart image we are using is the “Sic Deus Dilexit Mundum” image, and the Immaculate Heart image is one I stumbled upon whose origin is just as elusive as the “Sic Deus Dilexit”, but it is besides the point I guess.
Anyway, I am just excited and wanted to share. I’ve always understood that Christ is our head in our household, but actually making physical space in the home to prove it seems to make a real difference for us. It has been since January 30th. We set up a small altar attached to the wall above a smaller table, and a Crucifix above that, surrounded by some relics we have received over the years. It is neat to see how the children treat our living room now, and the absence of a television has been a non-event since we never used it anyway.
