"The memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is a celebration of the complex visceral relationship of Mary with her Son’s work of salvation: from the Incarnation, to his Death and Resurrection, to the gift of the Holy Spirit."
This excerpt from the Magnificat today reminds us of the layers within the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Pray a rosary, ask for her intercession, and ask her to bring you even closer to her Son today.

"In gazing upon the Lord’s heart, we contemplate a physical reality, his human flesh, which enables him to possess genuine human emotions and feelings, like ourselves, albeit fully transformed by his divine love."
These words from Pope Francis are such a great reminder that Jesus was both God and man. He understands our hearts so deeply and loves us more than we can imagine.
O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

“Salve Regina” is one of the Marian antiphons that originated in the medieval timeframe. In the 1800s, Pope Leo XIII prescribed this to be sung after certain Masses!
The simplicity of this antiphon was crafted to be sung in whole by the congregation. The next time you pray this with the Church, ask Mary to bring your needs and to lead you to her Son for His mercy and peace!
