The Enthronement of the Divine Mercy Image

The Enthronement of the Divine Mercy Image in the home is the recognition and honoring of the existence of God our Creator by the family who give themselves to trusting in the wonderful love and mercy that his Son, Jesus, brings to us through this image, made known to us by Blessed Maria Faustina Kowalska.

Enthronement of the Divine Image in the home is a positive way to center our family life on Christ.

Jesus said to Faustina: "I am offering people a vessel to which they can keep coming for graces." The vessel is this image with the signature "Jesus I trust in you."

Happy the family who dwells in the shadow of these Blessed Rays.

This Image, full of endless graces for all the family, can be in your own home and is the means to rejuvenate family faith and restore Christian values to the family.

The White Rays signify the water flowing from His Pierced Heart as a means of cleansing the soul.

The Red Rays signify His Blood which gushed forth to give new life to souls.

The enthronement is a means of sanctifying the home. inviting Jesus, the King of Love and Mercy to come and dwell as the Loving Father of the whole family.

The enthronement begins by installing the Divine Image in a place of honor in the home, which is then ceremoniously blessed by a priest as follows:

The Blessing

P. Our help is in the name of the Lord

F. Who made Heaven and Earth

P. The Lord be with you

F. And also with you

P. Let us Pray

Almighty, Eternal God, You have allowed pictures and statues of your Saints to be painted and carved, so that as often as we look upon them with our bodily eyes, we may recall with our more inward eyes their deeds and their sanctity and learn to imitate them. In Your Goodness, therefore, bless and sanctify this picture fashioned to reveal to us the unfathomable love of our Crucified and Risen Savior - Divine Mercy personified - and to recall to our minds the streams of Blood and Water gushing forth from His Pierced Heart to be a fount of Mercy for us. Grant to all who invoke Your Mercy with this picture before their eyes, the grace of true repentance, pardon and peace. Shield them from every danger to soul and body.

Loving Savior, establish in this picture the Throne of Your Mercy. Pour out upon all who approach it with faith and trust, the purifying, healing and sanctifying Rays of Grace ever flowing from it as from a blazing sun. Gaze upon them from it as You did from the Cross with irresistible Love and Compassion. Through this image may Your Divine Mercy triumph over all the powers and wiles of Satan the world over. May all who venerate it never perish. May it be their joy in life, their hope in death and their glory in eternity. This we ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

The Image should be exposed in a position in the home where it can be seen by all the family each day as they go about their daily life. When this position is fixed and the Image installed, the family can then recite the Chaplet of Divine Mercy in front of the Image.
