The Sacred Heart of Mary.
The Heart of Mary is the most perfect copy of the ever adorable Heart of Jesus. We have no easier means of gaining admission to our Saviour’s Heart than through devotion to the Immaculate Heart of His most dear Mother. “She is an infinite treasure to man, which they that use, become the friends of God.” (Wisdom vii. 14.)
The Heart of Mary is all love, all tenderness. How great soever our crimes may be, Mary stretches out her hand, opens her heart to receive us. And when she pleads, she must be heard.
O my Sovereign Lady, receive me into thy sacred Heart, pray for me, bless me, and obtain that I may have perpetual recourse to thy powerful protection.
