Today is June 28, the Optional Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Mary.

Together, these feasts remind us that no one knew the heart of Christ better than his Mother.

St. John Eudes, a great apostle of this devotion, spoke of four glories, four prerogatives, of Mary’s Immaculate Heart.
