“Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place all our trust in you.”
As we journey through the Jubilee Year 2025, Archbishop Eamon Martin will lead a deeply meaningful moment in the life of the Church in Ireland: the Renewal of the Consecration of Ireland to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This act of consecration will take place during the 3pm Mass on Sunday, 22 June, at Knock Basilica, on the Feast of Corpus Christi.
All are warmly invited to take part in this moment of national prayer either by joining in person at Knock Shrine or by tuning in to the livestream at Knock Shrine Webcam.
A Prayer for Our Times
In a world marked by unrest, suffering and longing for hope, the Sacred Heart of Jesus stands as a powerful symbol of divine love, mercy and healing. The act of consecration is a prayerful entrustment of ourselves, our homes, families, communities and nation to Christ’s heart, aflame with love for all humanity.
Archbishop Eamon’s words invite us into this renewal with confidence:
“We are living in a time of great need for God—for faith, for hope and for love. Our age presents many challenges to our faith, to our families, and indeed to the deepest core of our humanity. But as a pilgrim people filled with love and hope in this Jubilee Year of Grace, we entrust Ireland once again to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, our sure refuge.”

A Year of Grace and Mission
This act of renewal echoes the first national consecration of Ireland in 1873 and reflects our shared desire to proclaim the Good News with fresh confidence and missionary joy. In the words of the prayer itself:
“We believe that the world can change, beginning with hearts that are close to your heart… So that we may radiate faith, hope and love—especially for the poor, the suffering, and those who are most in need.”
