Mary Make Our Hearts Like Yours

Today the Church honors the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  This morning at Mass the priest said a little prayer during his homily.  He asked Our Lady to make our hearts like hers. Indeed to have a heart like Our Blessed Virgin Mary is to be pure and full of love.  

If we look to Our Blessed Mother for guidance in how to grow in holiness and love repeatedly we are instructed to pray the Rosary.  The Catechism of the Catholic Church also recorgnizes the importance of the Rosary as an "eptiome of the whole Gospel" (Catechism 971).

Today many Children's Rosary groups will be meeting along with a new Children's Rosary group in New Jersey USA who will be meeting for the first time.  They will begin by Consecrating their new group to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary. In this way the new group is under the protection and guidance of Christ and His Mother.  It is very special to be able to give a new Children's Rosary group to Our Blessed Mother on such a beautiful day honoring her Immaculate Heart.  We know that she tenderly cares for everything we give her and as the most loving of Mothers presents us to her Son. 

We also want to share some exciting news.  Beginning yesteday on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, Eternal Life Radio began airing the Children's Rosary daily LINK TO LISTEN LIVE.  They are introducing it currently at 5:00PM ET but may transition to a permanent 5:30 PM time slot going forward.   This gift of bringing the children's voices to the airwaves daily for a Children's Rosary at that time represents over a year of prayers from children in our Children's Rosary groups around the world.  To have such a gift given to us as we honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary is so precious.  To see such a gift brings awe and wonder at the care Our Lord went to in answering this prayer.  He chose a time chose a time when we are drawing very close to His Heart and that of His Mother.  It is at such times when little can be said but thank you.  Indeed today as we honor Our Blessed Mother and pray that our hearts may be more like hers there is also a prayer going up with it...one of thanksgiving for ALL the graces and gifts that have been poured down on us.

May we humbling invite you to  joining the children in prayer.  The children always pray for those unifying prayers with them.
