St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

Our Lord made known His burning desire to be loved by all men, and His design of manifesting to them His Sacred Heart with its treasures of mercy. Margaret Mary communicated Our Lord's wish that the faithful receive Holy Communion on the first Friday of each month and observe the Feast of the Sacred Heart on the Friday after the octave of Corpus Christi.

Enthrownement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Enthrownement of the Sacred heart of Jesus proclaimes our Jesus Christ the Lord of our homes.  The image of Himself given to St Margaret Mary in a vision is to be installed in a prominent place, such as a home altar.  The devotion aims for the sanctification of the family and consecration to His Sacred Heart.  Read more here on how to do this in your own home.
