PURE LOVE

The degree of purity determines the degree of union.

"The supernatural union exists when God's will and the soul's will are in conformity.

Therefore the soul rests transformed in God through love...

The illumination of the soul and its union with God corresponds to its purity."

~St. John of the Cross Ascent of Mt. Carmel BK. 2 CH. 5

The Heart of Mary floods our souls with its rays.

Treasures of the Heart of Mary
Consider the beauties of Mary's heart,
and see if you will ever be able to refuse her your love.

Happy are those who belong to the Heart of Mary

In order not to go astray, 

let us take Mary as our guide.

Holy heart of Mary, 

united inseparably to the Heart of Jesus,

pray for us.

Queenship of Mary: August 22

Your soul, O Queen of the World, is like an ardent lamp 

that burns with love for God without being consumed.  

Your crown, all brilliant with charity dispels the darkness

of our heart to lead our feet to your altars.

How our hearts are attracted by the heavenly fragrance 

of your sweet virtues and your modest graces!

We want also to embellish it.

Bouasse Jeune

Tender Mary, pray for us to your Divine Son.

O, Mary, through your holy heart, burning with divine love, 

console one poor mother and protect her frail children.

LIKE MARY

We must resign ourselves with love, 

endure everything without  a murmur.

He who finds me will have life.

I rest in peace in the heart of Mary.

She is my refuge. Oh, my Mother, receive me into your arms.

Bouasse Lebel

All my happiness is there.

Holy heart, fire of pure love,

inflame us with your passion.

Amiable heart of my mother, 

you are the Heaven I wish to inhabit forever.

[forget-me-nots and violets, symbols of faithfulness and the anchor, symbol of hope, 
remind us to place our hope in God, trusting in the unchanging love of Jesus and Mary. 

Sweet Mary, Mother dear, pray for us.

TENDERNESS OF MARY

Mary watches over her children as the warbler over her little ones.

Bouasse Lebel 

The humble and the little ones
are the object of her most ardent solicitude.

Bouasse Jeune, Pl. 1059

The most sweet homage to the heart of Mary

is that of a pure soul.
