The Saint of the day 4 June is the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which name day is celebrated and other saints who are celebrated on this date.

Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary

This feast was instituted by Pius XII in 1944 to invite the faithful to a careful meditation on the mystery of Christ and the Virgin Mary.

Mary, custodian of the Lord's words and deeds, meditates on them in her heart and for this reason constitutes the home of the Holy Spirit, as well as the seat of wisdom, a model of how the Church should be, that is, an entity capable of listening and correctly witness the message of the Lord.

Mary's immaculate heart is traditionally represented with a wreath of flowers around it, as a symbol of purity, and pierced by a sword, to signify the immense pain that Mary felt for the death of her son Jesus.

The origin of this cult probably refers to the words of the evangelist Luke, where the Heart of Mary is described as a treasure chest containing the holiest memories.
