The Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. 

"Each year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, and when he was twelve years old, they went up according to festival custom.

"After they had completed its days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it.

"Thinking that he was in the caravan, they journeyed for a day and looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances, but not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for him.

"After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions, and all who heard him were astounded at his understanding and his answers.

"When his parents saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, 

“Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety.” 

And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

"But they did not understand what he said to them. 

"He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; 

"And his mother kept all these things in her heart." (Luke 2: 41 - 51).

Saturday June 17th in the 10th Week of Ordinary Time is the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. 

Mary was intimately involved in the Jesus Revolution from the Annunciation to the Birth of the Church on Pentecost Sunday. 

Mary supplied the stories of the key events of the lives of Jesus to the early House Churches. These stories became the raw material for the Gospels. On the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we thank Mary, the Mother of God and the Mother of Church for her immense gifts to us. 

"Turn to My Mother in every need of yours. I have made her the Immaculate Mediatrix of all My graces. All that I would give you, I want you to have through her." (IN SINU JESU, Thursday, January 3, 2008 The Holy Name of Jesus).
