"Since Our Lady’s whole life was a life of Her Heart, the Immaculate Heart represents Her life, Her love, Herself. From the moment of Conception, Mary offered acts of faith, hope, love, praise, adoration, and thanksgiving to the God Who created Her. Her one ambition was union with God, Her desire to do His will; the light of grace found no obstacle in Her pure soul. Her Immaculate Heart was the throne of all virtue. Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is the complement of devotion to the Sacred Heart; in the one we honor Christ, the Redeemer; in the other, Mary, co- redemptrix. Thus, we honor Christ’s Mother with the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary..."
