This month's dedication is one that I find to be particularly beautiful: the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I think that we forget about this aspect of the mystery of Our Lady all too often, when it really should be something that we cling to every day. St Jacinta agreed with this, saying:
“Tell everybody that God grants graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary” - St Jacinta
Here is a short prayer from Mother Teresa that would be perfect to keep in mind this month:
“Mary, give me your Heart: so beautiful, so pure, so immaculate; your Heart so full of love and humility that I may be able to receive Jesus in the Bread of Life and love Him as you love Him and serve Him in the distressing guise of the poor.” – St Teresa of Calcutta
