Mary: Guide not Goal...

Feast of the
Immaculate Heart of the
Blessed Virgin Mary

  

"Everything in Mary 

leads us toward her Son,

our only Savior, 

by whose foreseen merits she was preserved

immaculate and full of grace;

everything in Mary lifts up our hearts

to the praise of the Holy Trinity.

The Church sees Mary, then,

not as the goal, but as the guide,

who always leads souls who honor her

with true devotion – to her Son,

especially to Jesus 

in the Blessed Sacrament."

Fr Paul Duffner, O.P.

Immaculate Heart of Mary,

cause of our joy, lead us and pray for us!
