Today is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
1. What is the Immaculate Heart of Mary?
The Immaculate Heart of Mary refers to Mary's heart: her love for God, her joys and sorrows, her goodness, and her care for all people. It is called "immaculate" because Mary was free from sin and was completely faithful to God.
2. Why do we honor the Immaculate Heart of Mary?
We honor Mary's heart because she fully trusted and obeyed God. As the Mother of Jesus, she showed perfect love, humility, and faith. By honoring her, we are led closer to Jesus.
3. Is devotion to the Immaculate Heart found in the Bible?
Yes. Although the words "Immaculate Heart" are not in the Bible, the idea is there. Scripture tells us that Mary treasured God's works in her heart (Luke 2:19) and that she would experience great sorrow because of Jesus' suffering (Luke 2:35).
4. What is the connection between Mary's Heart and Jesus' Heart?
The Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus are united in love. Mary's heart always points us to Jesus. She shared in His joys, sufferings, and mission.
5. What does the Church teach about the Immaculate Heart of Mary?
The Church encourages devotion to Mary's Immaculate Heart because it helps us grow closer to God. The feast is celebrated the day after the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
6. What did Mary promise at Fatima?
At Fatima, Mary promised peace, conversion, and God's blessings to those who honor her Immaculate Heart, pray the Rosary, and make sacrifices for sinners.
7. How can we honor the Immaculate Heart of Mary?
- Pray the Rosary every day.
- Consecrate yourself and your family to her Immaculate Heart.
- Practice the First Saturday devotion.
- Follow her example of humility, purity, obedience, and love for God.
- Pray and make sacrifices for sinners.
8. What can we learn from the Immaculate Heart of Mary?
Mary teaches us to love God with all our heart, trust Him in every situation, and remain faithful even in times of suffering. She shows us how to follow Jesus every day.
May the Immaculate Heart of Mary lead us always to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Viva, Santa Maria! 💙

Thank you very much Immaculate Conception Parish Charismatic Community - Marikina for the opportunity to share about the deep love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Ang Kanyang pag-ibig ang nagpapaalala sa atin na huwag sumuko kapag dumarating ang mga problema. Sa halip, magtiwala at umasa tayo nang lubos sa Kanya. Mas alam Niya kung ano ang pinakamabuti para sa atin kaysa sa alam natin para sa ating sarili.
Kaya manalig tayo sa sinabi Niya sa Isaias 49: "Hindi kita malilimutan, hindi kita pababayaan."

Hindi man tayo magkakilala dahil kinontact lang ako para mamuno sa kasal ninyo, pero be assured that I am and will always pray for you, JOSEPH ALLEN and ABIGAIL. God bless your marriage! Maging matatag palagi sa kabila ng tukso at pagsubok. ❤️

Why is it that, in today's feast of the SACRED HEART OF JESUS, the image of a YOKE is used? May pahiwatig kaya ito sa puso ni Hesus? Abangan ang sagot mamaya.

Divine's mother to Ateneo and the coaching staff: "Tell me what happened to my son. The stories are not the same." 😭💔
Hihintayin talaga natin ang KATOTOHANAN, at hindi tayo titigil until they satisfy us with the answers we badly need. 💔
💔 JUSTICE FOR DIVINE ADILI: A Mother’s Heartbreaking Plea
"He was the only hope of this family..." 😭🇳🇬
Hanggang ngayon, patuloy pa ring naghahanap ng kasagutan at hustisya ang ina ng yumaong Ateneo recruit na si Divine Adili. Ayon kay Ifeoma Adili sa kanyang panayam sa ABS-CBN, tila tinataguan at hindi sila magawang harapin ni Coach Tab Baldwin at ng pamunuan ng Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU)—ang mga mismong taong nag-recruit sa kanyang anak mula sa Nigeria.
Isang simpleng pamilya ang naiwang nangungulila, ngunit hanggang ngayon, walang maayos na sagot na ibinibigay sa kanila.
“HE’S THE ONLY HOPE OF THIS FAMILY... I need an answer, a clear answer from the Philippines, from the Ateneo Blue Eagles, and the coach that took him there.” — Ifeoma Adili, Mother of Divine
Napakasakit para sa isang ina na ipagkatiwala ang kanyang anak sa ibang bansa para sa mas magandang kinabukasan, tapos ibabalik na lamang na wala nang buhay—nang walang malinaw na paliwanag.
Nasaan ang pananagutan? Mapapakinggan ba ang iyak ng isang nagdadalamhating ina?
