The Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary

           John 19: 27.  "Woman, behold thy son...."

Reminds me of Fatima, when our BVM showed her Immaculate Heart to Lucia and said, “Behold this heart surrounded by the thorns that men are driving into it by their sins, their ingratitude.  But you, at least, console me by making reparation….”    And thus the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is epitomized.

When we consecrate ourselves to the Immaculate Heart of Mary we offer our good works and prayers through her to Jesus.  In this way, our offerings are packaged inside her own heart.  This is pleasing to God.
