SACRED HEART OF JESUS IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

Greetings in Jesus and Mary...

Today is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I know of two acquaintances that are getting married today...what a beautiful day to place oneself under the mantle of Our Good Queen and Mother! My daughter Theresa had a due date of June 6th and is still waiting so I thought I would repeat today some thought of Our Blessed Mother's pregnancy with Jesus....

One of my favorite meditations is on the Heart of Mary when she carried Jesus in Her womb. Maybe because I am a mom and that is a very special and beautiful time to be so close to your child. How amazing it is to know that the Eternal Father created Mary in such a way that She would be the perfect - most perfect mother for His Son Jesus! What was expected of Her at the time of her pregnancy? The most important thing expected of any of us is -- LOVE! Just think, if all the women who have ever agreed or surrendered to have an abortion had just a spark of love for their child....THERE WOULD BE NO ABORTIONS! The world has grown so very very cold. It is hard to calculate the amount of sin and its very tragic consequences! 

The two Hearts of Jesus and Mary not only glow with a warmth of intense fire of love but they beat as one. Why? Because Mary's Will is perfectly united to that of Her Divine Son and His Will is Love. This is the reason She can give us so much. She never stopped loving and adoring the presence of God within Her. The Eternal Father should be praised constantly for the gift of these two LOVING Hearts that beat as one. We need them ...... now more than ever!

Mary was the first lover and adorer of the Sacred Heart! Can you imagine the love Our Lady had for Jesus as He was first conceived in Her womb? Every mother has a profound joy to know life is growing inside her (or at least she should). This life is eternal! For Mary to know that this little life in Her was God is so profound. This oneness sets Her apart from the rest of us. The Eternal Father allowed Her to be conceived without sin because She was to be His first tabernacle, His first lover and His first sanctuary lamp. How very special and beautiful this makes the Blessed Mother. Fragrant flowers were always before Her Son Jesus. The beautiful flowers of love and virtue and graces that other creatures of God have never possessed. What a thought. The pure flame of love that came forth from Her Heart pleased and delighted the Most Triune God then and will forever!! A beautiful subject of meditation!

Jesus Who delights in being with all of us, super-abounded with delight in being with Our Mother Mary. Mary always offered all Her love, Her atonement for the sins of men, her sufferings, her grief of their ingratitude for the goodness of God -  and always in a spirit of love and reparation.

Mary felt so much of the degradation of mankind since the fall. Because of Her purity and holiness....no one has ever grieved so over the sins of mankind. She thought about how very beautiful God had made all of His creatures, and was always faced with how terribly they had spoiled His work. Since She was without sin - these feelings were felt more keenly.  Mary possessed the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Both Hearts long for the salvation of mankind - for the fallen human race. They work together but not equally for our Redemption. Her will is never separated from the will of God, therefore, She is given the power to help us poor children. What a gift from God - Mary is to all of us!! How we should love and appreciate Her goodness to us each and every day!

What are Mary's own to learn from this thought of Mary as the perfect adorer of the Sacred Heart of Jesus? Just to know that we can ask Mary to dwell in us so that Jesus can find Her there should make all of us want to consecrate ourselves to Her!!!  SHE IS HIS PERFECT ADORER!!!  We must imitate Her and consecrate ourselves to Her care. We must keep Jesus with us at all times like She does. We can frequently go to Holy Communion or make constant Spiritual Communions. Jesus will dwell with us as long as we try to remain pure and beg Him to come to us through Her prayers. When Jesus dwells in a soul consecrated to Mary - that soul will live in imitation of Her - doing good where ever it goes because this is the Will of the Father....that we should LOVE JESUS THROUGH MARY! 

The Sacred Heart of Jesus thirsts for souls imbued with the spirit of Mary. Mary-like souls that He can make Himself known to and in whom He can repose in peace. He longs to be on earth with Mary again in Her children. He will love to dwell in the souls consecrated to Her far more than in the cold tabernacles of our churches where He sits neglected for hours or with few adorers before Him.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, true Lover of the Heart of Jesus, help us to love Jesus truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Help us to be united to Jesus now so that we will be united for all eternity!

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
Sacred Heart of Jesus - be my Love!
