ISAIAH 61:9-11

Their descendants shall be renowned among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; All who see them shall acknowledge them as a race the LORD has blessed. I rejoice heartily in the LORD, in my God is the joy of my soul; For he has clothed me with a robe of salvation, and wrapped me in a mantle of justice, Like a bridegroom adorned with a diadem, like a bride bedecked with her jewels. As the earth brings forth its plants, and a garden makes its growth spring up, So will the Lord GOD make justice and praise spring up before all the nations.

LUKE 2:41-51

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.

We adore Mary for her unconditional commitment to be the Mother of Jesus. We marvel at her for her song of praise to God during her visit to her cousin, Elizabeth. We admire her as she gives birth to and raises Jesus from infancy to adulthood.

Our Blessed Mother could not have done it all without her Immaculate Heart of Love. She loved God with all her heart and her love grew even more as she raised Jesus to be our Savior. Mary’s love for Jesus no doubt extends to all of us.

The Immaculate Heart of Mary is the perfect example of a devotion which we all should emulate. Let us seek to be like Mary in our hearts. Let us strive to love Jesus for his ever so generous Love for us. Let us love God by praising Him. Let us love our neighbor to manifest our love for Mary and our love for God.
