Mary's Immaculate Heart: The Meaning of the Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Mary's Immaculate Heart: The Meaning of the Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

AT LAST on Kindle! This classic succinctly supplies an explanation of the doctrinal and dogmatic foundations of this great devotion. Recognizing that the Providence of God is the devotion’s principal efficient cause, this work investigates the devotion’s history, its intrinsic nature, and explains why it glorifies God.

There are salvific reasons why Our Lady of Fatima said, "God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart." As this book explains, "In the devotion to the Immaculate Heart which prompts men to imitate the virtues of the Blessed Mother, we see a true blending of love and sacrifice, the very core and spirit of the Christian life. Through a devotion to her Immaculate Heart, Mary will certainly form in us the likeness and virtues of her Son, and seeing more perfectly His image in us, she will love Him anew in us; and we, resembling our blessed Lord the more, will profit greatly from this closer union with Him."

“…the Mother of God is associated always with Christ. She forms with Him the foundation and cornerstone, as well as the capstone, of the economy of salvation. She not only brought the Incarnate Word into the world, she intimately shared in the work He came to accomplish, the redemption of men. Because of the full implications of her relationship with God and men, she occupies a unique and exalted place in the dogma and liturgy of the Church and in the entire divine plan of Creation...Further, the will of God in the spreading of the devotion is clearly manifest in the teaching authority of the Church."

Discover what the Church Fathers and many other saints said of it, including Saints Hippolytus, Ephraem, Gregory of Nyssa, Peter Chrysologus, John Damascene, and especially Ambrose, who associate certain phrases of the Old Testament's Canticle of Canticles with the Blessed Virgin. In the New Testament, St. Luke twice mentions the Heart of our Blessed Mother. First, on occasion of the arrival of the shepherds at Bethlehem, we read where all who heard marveled at the things told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept in mind all these words, pondering them in her heart . And again, upon finding our blessed Lord in the Temple, after which the Holy Family returned to Nazareth, St. Luke writes that our Blessed Mother, reflecting on what had come to pass and on the words of her Son, kept all these things carefully in her heart .

It is because of these two instances, wherein St. Luke mentions the Heart of Mary, that St. John Eudes can say that the devotion to the virginal Heart of the Mother of God has its origin and foundation in the Holy Gospel itself. The Holy Ghost, he says, through the inspiration of the Evangelist St. Luke, willed that the Heart of Mary be depicted as the sacred repository and faithful custodian of the ineffable mysteries and treasures contained in the life of our Lord; and explicit mention of the Heart of Mary must have been made, he continues, that men might forever honor her august Heart."
