Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Part 5)


                  The Immaculate Heart of Mary from St. Stanislaus Church, Warsaw ND

The following is taken from Chapter 2 of Fr. John Peter Pinamonti, SJ's "Seven Considerations of the Interior Perfections of Mary."  Fr. Pinamonti here considers "The Heart Worthy of the Mother of God."

"The Only Begotten Son of God - He Who from all eternity received in the bosom of the Father Being without beginning and Who willed to take upon Himself in the bosom of this Mother new being beginning in time - can alone understand the endless height of the dignity that belongs to His Mother.  He hath created her in the Holy Ghost, He hath seen and numbered and measured.  (Ecclesiasticus, i. 9)"

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
