Over the months of May and June 2026, the USA is experiencing two extraordinary moments of the grace and mercy of Father God.

On May 17, 2026, US President Trump promoted and organised a day of Rededication for America. This National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving was a prayer gathering on the National Mall in Washington, D.C, led by the US President along with Evangelical and Catholic leaders.

It aimed to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary by rededicating the nation “as one nation under God”. This was a significant moment in this great country.

Catholic Bishops Concurrent Consecration of America: 11 June 2026

In addition, and planned totally separately, U.S. Catholic bishops are organising a national consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 11, 2026. These are part of the same 250th anniversary celebrations. This prayer service in all Catholic Dioceses and hence churches will entrust America to Christ’s love, mercy, and lordship.

In the Catholic tradition, a focus on the “Sacred Heart” symbolises Jesus’ deep compassion and call to conversion for humanity. The Catholic Bishops hope this event will encourage prayer, repentance, and revival across the country.

This national invitation to turn hearts back to Jesus Christ is, at its centre, deeply biblical: Christ calls his people to abide in his love and submit every area of life — including our communities and nations — to his rule.

The image of the heart of Jesus can serve as a reminder of Scriptures such as “Come to me, all who are weary” (Matthew 11:28) and “God so loved the world” (John 3:16), pointing believers toward the redeeming heart of Jesus revealed through his cross.

Both of these moments across May and June provide an opportunity for Protestant and Catholic Christians alike to pray for a spiritual awakening in the USA. While we may differ on language like “consecration”, many believers can unite around the shared desire that Jesus Christ would be honoured, his Church renewed, and his gospel clearly proclaimed.

It is a reminder that true national hope is found not in political systems, but in repentance and a wholehearted return to the lordship of Jesus Christ.

Let us rejoice in these miraculous days in the US of A!
