The Immaculate Heart of Mary (optional memorial) ~ 13 June 2015

"O Mary, conceived without sin, 

pray for us who have recourse to thee."

"Everything in Mary leads us toward her Son, our only Saviour, by whose foreseen merits she was preserved immaculate and full of grace; everything in Mary lifts up our hearts to the praise of the Holy Trinity." ~ Pope Paul VI in encyclical celebrating the centenary of the apparitions at Lourdes.

But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart. 

Luke 2:19

And he went down with them and came to Nazareth 

and was subject to them. 

And his mother kept all these words in her heart. 

Luke 2:51

"I will never leave you; 

my Immaculate Heart will be your refuge, 

and the way that will lead you to God."

~ Our Lady to the Lucia at Fatima, 13 June, 1917 ~

Grant, Lord God, that we, your servants, may rejoice in unfailing health of mind and body, and, through the glorious intercession of Blessed Mary ever-Virgin, may we be set free from present sorrow and come to enjoy eternal happiness. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Gospel

Luke 2:41-51

The Boy Jesus in the Temple

Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom; and when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, but supposing him to be in the company they went a day�s journey, and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances; and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions; and all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, �Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously.� And he said to them, �How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father�s house?� And they did not understand the saying which he spoke to them. And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart.

Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus ~ 12 June 2015

A solemnity in the liturgical calendar of the Roman Catholic Church. It falls on a Friday, 19 days after Pentecost Sunday. The faithful are reminded on this solemnity of Jesus� love and are encouraged to make reparation for the many sins committed against Him. Jesus, the Son of God the fruit of Blessed Virgin Mary womb whose heart the same as any human but Jesus heart is pure, full of mercy and love., He is willing become the sacrificial Lamb of God on the cross and die for our salvation because He loved us. The Sacred Heart is depicted as a flaming heart shining with divine light, pierced by the lance-wound, encircled by the crown of thorns, surmounted by a cross and bleeding.

In the Heart of the Redeemer 

we adore God's love for humanity, 

his will for universal salvation, 

his infinite mercy, 

and adoring that Heart which, 

after having loved us to the end, 

was pierced by a spear 

and from high on the Cross 

poured out blood and water, 

an inexhaustible source of new life.

Grant, we pray, almighty God, that we, who glory in the Heart of your beloved Son and recall the wonders of his love for us, may be made worthy to receive an overflowing measure of grace from that fount of heavenly gifts. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

GOSPEL

John 19:31-37

Jesus� Side Is Pierced

Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him; but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. He who saw it has borne witness�his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth�that you also may believe. For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, �Not a bone of him shall be broken.� And again another scripture says, �They shall look on him whom they have pierced.�
