Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus - Day 2 - Heart of Jesus, source of justice and love

Lord, I come to Your tender Heart today,
to You who have words that set my heart ablaze,
to You who pour out compassion on the little ones and the poor,
on those who suffer, and on all human miseries.
I desire to know You more, to contemplate You in the Gospel,
to be with You and learn from You
and from the charity with which You allowed Yourself
to be touched by all forms of poverty.
You showed us the Father’s love by loving us without measure
with Your divine and human Heart.
Grant all Your children the grace of encountering You.
Change, shape, and transform our plans,
so that we seek only You in every circumstance:
in prayer, in work, in encounters, and in our daily routine.
From this encounter, send us out on mission,
a mission of compassion for the world
in which You are the source from which all consolation flows.
Amen.

Pope Francis decreed in 2018 that the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, be celebrated every year on the Monday after Pentecost. The story behind Mater Ecclesiae is older than Pope Francis. At Vatican II, Pope Paul VI formally proclaimed Mary “Mother of the Church” in 1964, meaning Mother of all Christian people, both faithful and pastors. Pope Francis later placed that title into the universal Roman Calendar so the whole Church would celebrate it annually.
The image you mention is the Mater Ecclesiae mosaic in St. Peter’s Square. After the assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II on May 13, 1981, he wanted an image of Our Lady placed in the square because he believed the Virgin Mary had protected him. The mosaic was made in 1981 and placed on the façade between the San Damaso courtyard and St. Peter’s Square.
Under the image are John Paul II’s coat of arms and his motto Totus Tuus—written on the mosaic as TOTVS TVVS, using the old Latin style where V is used for U. Totus Tuus means “Totally yours” or “All yours.” John Paul II explained that these words mean “total belonging to Jesus through Mary.” Beneath the mosaic is the inscription Mater Ecclesiae, Latin for Mother of the Church.
