The feasts of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart Of Mary ranked right up there with Christmas for me. Actually these feasts touch and feed me more deeply!
I particularly liked the point that Mary is especially blessed because, hearing the word of God, she keeps it [in her immaculately heart]. Nicely done!
In Scripture, we not only have Mary’s example of how she related to God, but we also have the actual instruction for how to relate to God in order to receive grace from Him. We can admire someone’s faith in God; but, knowing how they arrived at this faith is essential for us in order to also have it.
