The Sacred Heart of Jesus symbolizes God’s infinite love for mankind, while the Immaculate Heart of Mary represents her maternal love and her role as the Mother of God. These devotions are often linked, emphasizing the close spiritual connection between Jesus and Mary in the work of salvation.
The Servant of God Sr. Lucia, one of the Fátima children, said, “The work of our redemption began at the moment when the Word descended from Heaven in order to assume a human body in the womb of Mary. From that moment, and for the next nine months, the Blood of Christ was the Blood of Mary, taken from Her Immaculate Heart; the Heart of Christ was beating in unison with the Heart of Mary.”
Also, Jesus Himself appeared to Sr. Lucia, saying, “I want My Church to . . . put the devotion to this Immaculate Heart beside the devotion to My Sacred Heart.”
“Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did.” – St. Maximilian Kolbe
You must never separate what God has so perfectly united. So closely are Jesus and Mary bound up with each other that whoever beholds Jesus sees Mary; whoever loves Jesus, loves Mary; whoever has devotion to Jesus, has devotion to Mary. – St. John Eudes
To celebrate the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, one can participate in Mass, consecrate their family to the Two Hearts, engage in acts of love and reparation, and deepen their understanding of the associated devotions including First Friday devotion and First Saturday devotion.
We will have mass on Saturday, June 28th at 9am to celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
