Daily Offering
The minute spent each morning giving all of our 'prayers, works, joys and sufferings' for the intentions of the Sacred Heart, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, unites the participant with the Pope and all of the Church through prayer. 'Salvation of souls and reparation for sins' are lifted up along with the specific intentions of the Holy Father other members of the Apostleship itself. Members are encouraged to end the day with a brief examination of conscience.
EucharistAlmost all of the supernatural events associated with the Sacred Heart devotion were in close proximity to the Sacred Host in the Tabernacle. Thus, frequent (daily if possible) assistance at Mass and communion as well as vists to the Blessed Sacrament have always been promoted among Apostleship members. Members often perform a 'Communion of Reparation' by taking the Host with the intention of making reparation for the sins of mankind commited against the Sacred Heart.
Marian Devotions
The Apostleship encourages Love of the Blessed Mother, whose own Immaculate Heart is closely linked to that of the Sacred Heart of her son. A daily Rosary (five decades) is strongly recommended for all members, and participation in other Marian devotional practices is enthusically endorsed.
Sacred Heart DevotionsThe 'heart' of the Apostleship is the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Individuals and families are urged to consecrate themselves to the Sacred Heart. A special ceremony for the 'enthronement' of an image or statue of the Sacred Heart is often held in homes. Other practices include a Holy Hour (sixty minutes of prayers of reparation preferably before the Tabernacle), the First Friday Communion of Reparation with confession, and special devotions in June, the month of the Sacred Heart, particularly the Feast of the Sacred Heart (the Friday after Corpus Christi Sunday).
I offer You all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day
for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart,
in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world,
in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all our associates,
and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father.*
