CHURCH FEAST: HOMILY FOR THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

HOMILY THEME: Immaculate heart of Mary!

BY: Rev Fr Oselumhense Anetor (Uromi Diocese)

Lam. 2:2,10-14,18-19; Luke 2:41-51

Perhaps one of the first things we learn about Mary’s heart is that it’s so so deep. Now and again we hear, ‘she kept these things in her heart.’ She never complained. She always pondered; and for some reason, she was never scared of this God-child she had. In the Gospel reading, she says to him; ‘my child, why have you done this to us? See how worried your father and I have been, looking for you.’ Her heart chose to love and care for this child.

Friends, only grace can make any heart immaculate (most pure). Since Mary was to be mother of God, it was only proper that her entire being be kept immaculate from conception through the grace of Jesus Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit. The fruits of that grace is seen in Mary’s absolute desire to do God’s will. May we, through the intercession or Mary’s Immaculate Heart, find courage to embrace a life of grace, that we too may truly become willing ambassadors for Christ, Amen.

Good morning dear. Happy Weekend. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
