what struck you the most in this oneness of heart of jesus and mary document? why?

Answer 1

Mary Immaculate teaches us to make our hearts like the Heart of her Divine Son. The Virgin Mary teaches us to live a holy and a blessed life. She teaches us to hear the word of God and observe it so that it may take deep root in our hearts and produce there an abundance of selfless love of God and neighbor (Luke 11:28). She teaches us, who are sinners, to trust in God’s grace to heal us of sin and to strengthen us in virtue. She leads us to imitate her in bringing Christ to the world by humble faith, union of heart and courageous witness of life.

The Virgin Mary, by the perfect union of her heart with the Heart of Jesus, is indeed our “glory,” our “surpassing joy” and our “splendid boast.” She believed in God’s promise to her. She courageously accepted the vocation and mission of Mother of God, in order to save us, her children, from the enslavement of sin and everlasting death.
