The Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is a celebration in the Catholic Church that honors the pure and loving heart of Mary, the mother of Jesus. This feast day is observed on the Saturday following the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and was instituted by Pope Pius XVII.
The Immaculate Heart of Mary represents her deep devotion, love, and compassion for humanity. We believe that Mary's heart was filled with grace and free from sin from the moment of her conception, making her a fitting vessel for Jesus. Her immaculate heart symbolizes her perfect union with God and her willingness to cooperate fully with God’s divine plan.
The Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary serves as an opportunity for us to reflect on her virtues and seek her intercession. It is a reminder of her unwavering faith, her role as the mother of the Church, and her constant care and concern for all people.
Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is particularly associated with the messages of Our Lady of Fatima, where she appeared to three shepherd children in 1917 and called for prayer, repentance, and consecration to her Immaculate Heart. This feast day encourages us to seek Mary’s guidance throughout our lives and entrust ourselves to her motherly care.
Through the celebration of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we are reminded of Mary's pivotal role in our salvation history and are inspired to imitate her loving and compassionate heart.
