The purpose is to spread the message of Fatima. The statue is brought into the home, where it is left for several days during which time a Rosary is prayed daily. The statue represents Mary bringing Jesus into the home. Mary leads us in closer union with her Son, Jesus. She prepares the family or individual for the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which is made on the day the statue is picked up. The Enthronement restores a renewed devotion to the Heart of Jesus and proclaims Jesus as the King of their family.
