Word for Saturday June 13. The Immaculate Heart of Mary.

“When his parents saw him, hey were astonished, and his mothers 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?” Luke 2:48-49. Saint Teresa of Calcutta said, “Mary’s Immaculate Heart is a heart that understands suffering and offers hope.”

Let us pray, Lord Jesus Christ, grant us the grace to have hearts that are caring, loving, and merciful, like the Immaculate Heart of Your beloved Mother. Teach us to love as she loves, to forgive as she forgives, and to serve with humility and compassion. Shape our hearts according to Yours, so that in all things we may reflect Your goodness. Amen.
