Saturday 28 June 2025 - Purity and generosity

Saturday 28 June 2025

Welcome to the Saturday Examen. Today is the feast of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We will pray with this in our Examen today. Begin by placing yourself in God’s presence. Thank the Lord for the gift of this day, for the moments of love, beauty, and grace. Thank You for the witness of Mary’s Immaculate Heart — a heart full of purity, trust, humility, and love. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to see the week that has passed. Reflect with honesty and humility, under the gentle gaze of Mary, whose heart pondered all things in love. Reflect on where you acted with the purity and generosity of Mary’s heart. Showing compassion, patience, or forgiveness, being open to God’s will? Were there times when you neglected to love or serve when given the chance? Acknowledge your failures with trust in God’s mercy. Ask for grace for tomorrow, for your heart to be more like Mary’s — tender, courageous, open to God’s word. Ask for the grace to face tomorrow with trust and to love the Lord and others more deeply. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be World without end Amen
