No Stronger Advocate: The Immaculate Heart of Mary – May 30 – Homily – Fr Maximilian
Views 29
Fr. Maximilian M. Warnisher gives the homily for Saturday of the Eighth Week in Ordinary Time (May 30, 2026), reflecting on Mary's visit to Elizabeth (anticipating the Feast, which is suppressed this year due to the liturgical calendar). Father reflects on Mary's unique role as Mother of God, Mother of the Church, and powerful advocate before her Divine Son.
Drawing attention to the profound love revealed in both the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Father encourages the faithful to take refuge in Mary's maternal intercession and allow her to lead them closer to Christ and eternal salvation.
