The Immaculate Heart’s Father, Doctor and Apostle

“My soul doth magnify the admirable Heart of Jesus and Mary, and my spirit rejoices in my great Heart. Jesus and Mary have given me their Heart, this immense Heart, in order that all in me may be performed in its Love. Infinite thanks to them for their unspeakable gift.” (Magnificat of St. John Eudes, 1601-1680)

In teaching about the Immaculate Heart of Mary, St. John Eudes wrote:

“Since our salvation has been wrought in this Heart and through this Heart, it is evident that after God and His Son Jesus, this is the first foundation from which we cannot separate ourselves without incurring the evident danger of ruin and eternal damnation!”
