The Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary fittingly piggy-backs yesterday's Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. The heart, symbol of love, and our most vital organ, reminds us that we cannot live without love or a beating heart. As the heart of Jesus shows us his immense love for us, so the heart of Mary shows her immense love for Jesus and serves as an example of how we should love him in faith, nurturing and gratitude. Mary pondered the joys and the sorrows of her life in this heart of hers (cf. Lk 2:51), drawing strength and purpose from them and expanding her love to include all of us. We too have a place in her heart as her children, brothers and sisters of Jesus. Her motherly ways work wonders for us, all in with an end to bring us into full union with Jesus. As Marists we live by the motto, "All to Jesus through Mary, all to Mary for Jesus." This is a very special day on which to honor our Marist Heritage and give thanks for the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
