Sacred Heart of Jesus, Immaculate Heart of Mary

A devotional two-fer this weekend, Solemnity of the Sacred Heart yesterday and Immaculate Heart of Mary today. I have a beautiful visage of the Sacred Heart that belonged to Grandma Ravilla that I will attempt to post here later today. It's one of a kind and I've often thought of having it reproduced. I am in awe that the Church was born from the very Heart of Christ, cruely pierced by human sin though boundness in merciful love for each one of us.

From the depth of my nothingness, I prostrate myself before Thee, O Most Sacred, Divine and Adorable Heart of Jesus, to pay Thee all the homage of love, praise and adoration in my power.
Amen. - - St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

From The Holy Father:

Mary was at the foot of the Cross, co-participant of the Passion of the Son. She offers her Mother's heart as refuge to those who seek forgiveness, hope, and peace, as we were reminded in the feast of the Immaculate Heart. Mary has cleansed us in the blood of the crucified Son. To her, we entrust the blood of the victims of violence, so that it will be rescued with that blood that Jesus poured out for the salvation of the world.
