Mary stands before us as a radiant sign of what it means to belong entirely to God. In her, we behold what His grace can accomplish in a human heart.
Yet this love was not without cost. The prophet Simeon foretold that a sword would pierce her soul. Deep was her sorrow as she stood united to her Son through His suffering and crucifixion.
So it will be with us. The closer Divine love draws us, the more deeply we feel true sorrow for our sins, the ache of separation, the longing for perfect union.
Place your heart within the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our tender Mother will teach you how to open yourself to Jesus so that you, too, may be consumed by the same fire of love that burns within her.
