The Graces of Mary’s Immaculate Heart  

We can say in truth that Jesus is the fruit of Mary’s heart as well as of her womb, and that the faithful are the fruits of the same heart, because the very virtues of faith, humility, purity, love, and chari­ty, which rendered her worthy to become the Mother of God, made her also the Mother of all God’s chil­dren.  

As the Eternal Father gave her the power to conceive his Son in her heart and in her virginal womb, by clothing her with the divine virtue where­by he generates his divine Son from all eternity in his own adorable bosom, so also did God grant her the power to form Christ and give birth to him in the hearts of the children of Adam, who thus became members of Jesus Christ and sons of God. Even as Mary conceived and will eternally bear her Son Jesus Christ in her heart, she also conceives and  holds forever in the same heart all the holy members of our divine Head. They are her beloved children, the fruits of her maternal heart, and she offers them to the divine majesty as a perpetual sacrifice.

One Minute Meditation

We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer.  We trust to your gentle care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting.  Help all of us, Holy Mother, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever.
Amen.

Homily #100612 ( 08min) Play – “She kept all these things in her heart.” In the Heart of Mary there is always a pure intention, she loves God with all her heart and her neighbor as her self. God ordained that we receive all things through the Immaculate; she has been entrust with the economy of salvation.

In possessing me, my poor Lord possesses a nothing,

and I, in possessing Him, possess everything.

St. Anthony Mary Claret, feast day is October 24th

I will ask the Blessed Virgin for an all-embracing charity and perfect union with God, a most profound humility, and the desire for contempt from others. I will greatly esteem virtues in others.  I will look on everybody as my superior, judging well of all his works, reprehending, cen­suring, and judging only myself. This will be for my own profit. Any other kind of judgment will not profit me in the least.

I will remember what our Lord once said to a mis­sionary, namely, that he had preserved him from falling into hell, so that he might work for the salvation of souls. For my part, I too, will think that God delivered me from the untimely death of drowning and from other perils, so that I might labor afterwards for his greater honor and glory, and for the salvation of souls which he redeemed at so great a price.

What has our Lord not done for the glory of his Father and for the salvation of souls? Ah, I see him agonizing on the cross, despised, and loaded with suffer­ings. Then am I, for the same reason, and aided by his grace, firmly resolved to suffer, to toil, to be despised, to be laughed at, calumniated and persecuted, and even to suffer death itself. Thanks be to God I am having my share of these crosses in my life. I live, but my life is that of Christ’s, and in possessing me, my poor Lord possesses a nothing, and I, in possessing Him, posses everything.

I pray to Him like this: O Lord, you are my love. You are my honor, my hope, and my refuge, my glory, and my last end. 0 my love, my happiness, my conserver, my joy, my reformer and my master! You are my father, the spouse of my life and of my soul! I do not seek or desire to know anything but your holy will, in order to do it. I love only you, my God, and all other things only for you, in you, and for your sake. You are more than sufficient for me, and I love you, my strength, my refuge, and my consolation. You are my Father, my brother, my spouse, my friend, and my all. Help me to love you as you love me, and as you will that I should love you.

Saint John Eudes, Priest
Optional Memorial  August 19th

(1601-1680) Born in France, he was a gifted preacher and encouraged devotions to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Specially concerned to council and defend endangered women, he founded an association of priest and the religious Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity

St. Pope Pius X called St. Eudes the Immaculate Heart’s Father, Doctor and Apostle. It was through him that this devotion was made public and received ecclesiastical approbation. At his canonization, Holy Mother Church emphasized his role in establishing the liturgical devotion to the Heart of Mary. St. John Eudes, as a theologian, was the first to explain this devotion. The feast was established first in his Congregation and later through out the French dioceses. He composed a mass and office. In 1680, shortly before his death, his book, The Admirable Heart of Mary, was completed and published. It consisted of 12 books, took him 20 years to write it, and was the first of its kind.

Ave Maria Meditations

Mary, Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, Mother of the Redeemer: we join the many generations who have called you “Blessed”. Listen to your children as we call upon your name. You promised the three children of Fatima that “in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph”. May it be so! May love triumph over hatred, solidarity over division, and peace over every form of violence! May the love you bore your Son teach us to love God with all our heart, strength and soul. May the Almighty show us his mercy, strengthen us with his power, and fill us with every good thing (cf. Lk 1:46-56). We ask your Son Jesus to bless these children and all children who suffer throughout the world. May they receive health of body, strength of mind, and peace of soul. But most of all, may they know that they are loved with a love which knows no bounds or limits: the love of Christ which surpasses all understanding (cf. Eph 3:19). Amen.

OUR LADY OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

This title was given to our Blessed Mother in May 1868 by Saint Peter Julian Eymard to honor her in her relationship to the Holy Eucharist and to place her before us as a model in our duties and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. Our Lady gives witness to being Christian. In her conduct toward the Blessed Sacrament, we learn what ours should be!
