Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Mary, Mother of God our witness to love, mercy and charity. Without Mary, no Jesus. "She cooperated through charity", as St. Augustine says, "in the work of our redemption". She heard and responded . A role model we can look to in age of confusion. Mary is always there to step in as our mother, we only need to ask.

"Father, you prepared the heart of the Virgin Mary to be a fitting home for your Holy Spirit. By her prayers may we become a more worthy temple of your glory. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen." HT to Catholic Culture.
