Lord our God,
you made the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary
the home of your eternal Word
and the sanctuary of the Holy Spirit.
Give us a heart that is free from sin
and attentive to your will,
that, faithful to your commandments,
we may love you above all things
and seek to help others in their need.

LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading
You are the highest honor of our race.
A reading from the Book of Judith 13, 17-20. 15, 9
All the people were greatly astonished.
They bowed down and worshiped God, saying with one accord,
“Blessed are you, our God,
who today have brought to naught the enemies of your people.”
Then Uzziah said to her:
“Blessed are you, daughter, by the Most High God,
above all the women on earth;
and blessed be the LORD God,
the creator of heaven and earth,
who guided your blow at the head of the chief of our enemies.
Your deed of hope will never be forgotten
by those who tell of the might of God.
May God make this redound to your everlasting honor,
rewarding you with blessings,
because you risked your life
when your people were being oppressed,
and you averted our disaster,
walking uprightly before our God.”
And all the people answered, “Amen! Amen!”
When they had visited her, all with one accord blessed her, saying:
“You are the glory of Jerusalem,
the surpassing joy of Israel;
you are the splendid boast of our people.”
The word of the Lord.

Gospel
He will rule over the house of Jacob for ever.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke 11, 27-28
While Jesus was speaking,
a woman from the crowd called out and said to him,
“Blessed is the womb that carried you
and the breasts at which you nursed.”
He replied,
“Rather, blessed are those
who hear the word of God and observe it.”

Or:
The mother of Jesus treasured all these things in her heart.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke 2, 46-51
After three days Jesus’ parents found him in the temple,
sitting in the midst of the teachers,
listening to them and asking them questions,
and all who heard him were astounded
at his understanding and his answers.
When Jesus’ parents saw him,
they were astonished,
and his mother said to him,
“Son, why have you done this to us?
Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety.”
And Jesus said to them,
“Why were you looking for me?
Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
But his parents did not understand what he said to them.
Jesus went down with them and came to Nazareth,
and was obedient to them;
and his mother kept all these things in her heart.
The Gospel of the Lord.

a wise and obedient heart,

a new and gentle heart,
in which you were well pleased
and on which you inscribed
the law of the New Covenant.
You gave her an undivided and pure heart,
that she might be worthy
to be the Virgin Mother of your Son
and to rejoice to see you for ever.
You gave her a steadfast and watchful heart,

in their canticle of joy:
Holy, Holy, Holy....
