A MOMENT WITH MOTHER MARY

August 19 - Fifth Apparition at Fatima - Saint John Eudes         United Hearts The Father’s Heart is for Mary, just as the most loving heart of every father is for the pleasantest of all daughters. The Son’s Heart is for Mary, just as the warmest heart of every son is for the worthiest of all mothers. The Holy Spirit’s Heart is for Mary, just as the most devoted heart of every husband is for the most cherished of all wives. Reciprocally, Mary’s heart is for the Father, just as the heart of the best of daughters is for the best of fathers. Mary’s heart is for the Son of God, just as the heart of an incomparable mother is for the Son who has nobody comparable to Him. Lastly, Mary’s heart is for the Holy Spirit, just as the good wife’s heart runs, like a furnace of burning love, to the Husband who is the essence of Love itself. Thus, just as in The Song of Songs, Mary’s Beloved is for her and Mary is for her Beloved.

your horses amid the churning of
many watres.               ~Hab 3:13-15
