US Catholic bishops are consecrating the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Here’s what that means
Catholic bishops from across the U.S. come together Thursday to consecrate the country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This event marks the 250th anniversary of the United States and is part of the bishops’ spring assembly in Orlando, Florida. The mainstream, centuries-old Catholic devotion focuses on Jesus’ sacrificial love for humanity. In some instances, the consecration has political overtones. Archbishop Alexander Sample of Portland, Oregon, says the consecration aims to promote service to God, country and the needy. This is the first time U.S. Catholic leaders have held such a service, though other countries have done so since 1874.
