Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary

While the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus symbolizes Christ’s love for us, the Immaculate Heart of Mary symbolizes our love for Christ.
“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, dor ever and ever.”
Amen
