Today, June 11 2026, the United States will be consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
The decision was made at the 2025 Fall Plenary Assembly in Baltimore, with a wide majority
of votes in favor.
The consecration is scheduled to take place on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which in 2026 falls on June 11, today.
The year 2026 also provides the context for the semiquincentennial of the founding of the United States (celebrating 250 years since 1776).
We see the tower of Jesus Christ illuminated for the first time!
The light show, starting from the base up to the illumination of the cross, culminated with a composition of lights guided by drones that traced the figure of Gaudí and the phrase “first love, then technique”.
In a world torn apart by wars and divisions, in a society that is increasingly fragmented and individualistic, we wish to be witnesses and prophets of unity, welcome, harmony, and peace, even at the cost of sacrifice and renunciation. We wish to offer our “yes,” ready if necessary to die to ourselves, to lose ourselves in order to find ourselves again, to renounce the superfluous in order to build upon what is essential and lasts forever (Mt 16:24–26). #ApostolicJourney
