Today, following yesterday’s Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The following passage is from St. Maximilian Kolbe:
In the union of the Holy Spirit with her, not only does love bind these two beings, but the first of them (the Holy Spirit) is all the love of the Most Holy Trinity, while the second (the Blessed Virgin Mary) is all the love of creation, and thus in that union heaven is joined to earth, the whole heaven with the whole earth, the whole of Uncreated Love with the whole of created love: this is the vertex of love.
