Aliance of Two Hearts
The Alliance of Two Hearts - Communion of Reparation is the Catholic world's response to the urgent request to make "reparations" to the hearts of Jesus and Mary, particularly in today's society where the "culture of death," destruction of the family and the outrages and sacrileges committed against the Holy Trinity and Blessed Mother are rampant. The Alliance, as a lifestyle, facilitates the growth both in the home and in the community through its devout practice of the daily and monthly Communion of Reparation. Daily and Monthly Activities The Alliance is first introduced to the individual family by way of consecration to the Heart of Jesus and Mary. This means that henceforth Jesus and Mary will reign as King and Queen in the home. Also, it means promising to live daily the elements of the Communion of Reparations; praying the Rosary as a family, examination of conscience, frequent Confession, reception of Holy Communion at Holy Mass and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The daily family Communion of Reparation culminates in the montly first Friday- first Saturday vigil, which is under the supervision of the Pastor. The vigil lasts from the evening fo the first Friday until after Holy Mass on the first Saturday in honor of the Sacred Heard of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary and includes the four elements; The Holy Rosary, Confession, the Eucharist and Holy Hours of Adoration. Normal Schedule 8:00 p.m. Registration/Prayer 8:30 p.m. Confessions/Rosary 9:00 p.m. Holy Mass 10:00 p.m. Begin Hours of Adoration 12:00 a.m. Agape (Refreshments) 1:00 a.m. Continuation of Holy Hours, Chaplet Divine Mercy, Stations of the Cross and Saturday Office of Readings. 7:00 Benediction, followed by Confessions 7:30 Holy Mass
