The Immaculate Heart of Mary
Saturday of week 10 in Ordinary Time
First reading – Isaiah 61:9-11
“I exult for joy in the Lord”. This is the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Exulting for joy in the Lord. This is a double joy. The joy in the Lord and the rejoicing in that joy in the Lord. Mary finds her joy in the Lord and then she lives with that joy in happiness. Finding the joy in the Lord and living with that joy is the Immaculate Heart of Mary. That is how the soul rejoices in my God. Living with the joy found in the Lord, is being clothed in the garments of salvation. The more joy one finds in the Lord, the more immaculate his or her heart is. The Immaculate Heart of Mary finds joy only in the Lord and She lives only in that joy. The more our joy is liberated from other things, the more we are close to the joy in the Lord. Let’s reflect: How much joy I find in the Lord and how much I live with that joy?
