The Most Pure Heart Of The Blessed Virgin Mary.

   Feast Day Saturday Within The Octave Of The Sacred Heart Of Jesus.

White Vestments.

These are the characteristics of The Most Pure Heart of Our Blessed Lady, which we set forth from the Texts of The Mass:

1.    All her holiness proceeds from her heart (Introit);

2.    Her grief, when she lost The Child Jesus in the Temple (Gospel);

3.    Her heart is filled with the love of God (Epistle, Secret, Communion);

4.    Mary's heart is pure, therefore it is pleasing to God (Collect, Gradual);

5.    Her heart is courageous (Offertory);

6.    Mary's intercession (Postcommunion).

Mass: Omnis glória.
Credo.

Pope Pius XII instituted the Feast of The Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1944, to be Celebrated on 22 August,[13] coinciding with the Traditional Octave Day of The Assumption.[14]

In 1969, Pope Paul VI moved the Celebration of The Immaculate Heart of Mary to the Saturday, immediately after the Solemnity of The Sacred Heart of Jesus. This means in practice that it is now held on The Third Saturday after Pentecost.[15]
