In the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I Trust

Look to the Star

Call upon Mary!

In danger, in difficulty

or in doubt,

think of Mary,

call upon Mary,

Keep her name on your lips,

Never let it pass

out of your

heart. Following

in her footsteps,

you will not go astray:

praying to her,

you will not

fall into despair:

thinking of her

you will not err.

While she keeps hold

of your hand,

you will not fall ...

you will not grow weary ...

you will have no fear ...

Enjoying her protection,

you will reach the goal.

(Prayer attributed to Saint Bernard)

Prostrate at thy sacred feet, 

O august Queen of Heaven, 

I venerate thee with the most profound respect, 

and I believe that thou art the daughter of the Eternal Father, 

the Mother of His Divine Son, 

and the Spouse of the Holy Ghost. 

Full of grace and virtues and heavenly gifts, 

thou art the purest temple of the most Holy Trinity, 

thou art the treasury and dispenser of divine mercy. 

Thy Immaculate Heart, full of charity, sweetness and tenderness, 

has given thee the name of Mother of Divine Clemency.

Therefore, in my affliction 

and agony I present myself with confidence before thee, 

our most loving Mother, 

and I pray thee to make me experience the love which thou bearest us; 

Grant me (specify the favor) 

if it be the Will of God and for the good of my soul. 

Amen. 

Act of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Act of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

O Most Holy Virgin Mother, we listen with grief to the complaints of your Immaculate Heart surrounded with the thorns placed therein at every moment by the blasphemies and ingratitude of ungrateful humanity.

We are moved by the ardent desire of loving you as Our Mother and of promoting a true devotion to your Immaculate Heart.

We therefore kneel before you to manifest the sorrow we feel for the grievances that people cause you, and to atone by our prayers and sacrifices for the offenses with which they return return your love.

Obtain for them and for us the pardon of so many sins.
Hasten the conversion of sinners that they may love Jesus and cease to offend the Lord, already so much offended.

Turn your eyes of mercy toward us, that we may love God with all our heart on earth and enjoy Him forever in heaven.

Amen.

The Immaculate Heart of Mary

Devotion to the Immaculate and Sacred Heart of Mary

The Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Mary is as old as devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The two Hearts are inseparable. Where there is one, there is the other. Mary is the Mother, the Genetrix. The Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Mary begins in response to the suffering of Mary at the foot of the Cross of Jesus.

The Immaculate Heart of Mary goes back to the beginnings of the Church, for it has its deepest roots in the Holy Scriptures. This event had already been prophesied by the old Simeon in the temple, saying that the Heart of Mary would be pierced by the sword. Another source of this devotion is in the Gospel of St. Luke which says: Mary kept all the words of Jesus in her Heart: "Mary kept all these words, meditating on them in her heart" (Lk 2:19). "Then he went down with them to Nazareth and was submissive to them. His mother kept all these things in her heart "(Lk 2,51).

The liturgical memory of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is celebrated on the Sabbath following the solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, placed on the second Friday after the solemnity of Corpus Christi.

The seed of the Gospel, planted by the apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ, germinated in the doctrine of the Holy Fathers and developed with the theologians and mystics of the Middle Ages.

In the following centuries, other great devotees of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and of the Heart of Jesus, such as St. Bernard, St. Gertrude, St. Bridget, St. Bernardine of Sena and St. John Eudes.
