The Holy Family icon you receive today was consecrated in Beauraing (Marian shrine) during the Eucharist of our Sentinel pilgrimage on 17/07/17. It has become a Sacramental.
It IS the presence of God.
Since that day, it has been a part of our family of Holy Family Sentinels. Lovingly prepare the place to welcome the Holy Family into your home. Don't hesitate to give this icon pride of place in your home. It will be a testimony to the place the Lord occupies in your heart.
The Holy Family comes to visit you.
Jesus, Son of God, Mary his mother and Joseph his adoptive father come to you personally.
Open your heart to them, confide in them your joys and sorrows, your intentions and everything you carry in your heart. They all want a real encounter with you. They bless you for saying yes, for becoming a Sentinel. You're part of their Holy Family. Feel like family with them. They bring you their Peace. Rest in them, listen to what they have to say.
Then you can also pray for all the intentions you carry in your heart + those of Pope Francis + those of Mary... According to your inspiration.
Invite your friends, family and neighbors to come and pray in front of the icon
It's a great joy to share and experience this visitation of the Holy Family with others.
By doing so, you'll be a true Sentinel and please the heart of Mary, who wants to bring Jesus to EVERYONE.
