The Immaculate Heart of Mary Is the Tabernacle of the Holy Spirit, the “Place” from Where He Acts in All Hearts.
Newsroom (06/08/2024, Gaudium Press) – Her radical, docile, and absorbed submission to the will of the Father during the days of her earthly life earned Our Lady the most exalted throne in eternity and the title of Empress of the Universe. Together with her Son Jesus, she forms with Him one single Heart.
During His earthly life, Our Lord desired to perform wondrous miracles through Mary, beginning with the Incarnation itself. With Her and through Her, He continues to work wonders throughout the unfolding of history, reserving for her a manifest and glorious role as the culminating episodes of the plan of creation approach.
As Mother and Queen of mankind, the Blessed Virgin has the mission of leading all things to perfection, by virtue of her powerful intercession and her zeal for the work of good. As at Cana (cf. Jn 2:1–11), so too in History, the best wine will be produced by Jesus thanks to her prayers and in consideration of the nobility of her Immaculate Heart.
Our Sweetness
Mother of God and ours, she covers us with affection, softening the sorrows and sufferings of this valley of tears, and gives our hearts renewed courage for the battles that still await us.
Our Lady reveals herself as “our sweetness”, whether she removes obstacles from our path and leads us through the paradisiacal gardens of interior consolations, or allows us to experience spiritual dryness, challenges, and even failures, in imitation of her Divine Son on the Cross.
In any circumstance, she obtains for us the graces, virtues, and strength necessary to be warriors and heroes of her glorious Kingdom.
How bitter becomes the life of those who enter the paths of sin and reject the tenderness of this Mother, whose Immaculate Heart is the vessel of the sweetness of the Sacred Heart of Jesus!
