February 8th,
feast of the Sacred Heart of Mary
You must never separate what God has so perfectly united. So closely
bound up with each other are Jesus and Mary that whoever beholds
Jesus sees Mary; whoever loves Jesus loves Mary; whoever has
devotion to Jesus has devotion to Mary . . . Thus, you may never
separate the Son from the Mother, nor the Mother from the Son; and
you may behold nothing but Jesus in Mary and Mary in Jesus . . .
Whoever sees Jesus sees Mary, and he who sees Mary beholds Jesus! I
cannot look upon Thee, O my Lord Jesus, without beholding her who
sits at Thy right hand!
