Today is Our Lady's birthday! In honor of her I wrote a poem entitled, "Inside Mary's Immaculate Heart."
Let her take you by the hand into her Immaculate Heart. It is full of infinite graces and gifts for anyone who asks for them. These things shall make you able to stand strong to fight against all that is evil.
This woman who is here to aide you is your soul's own mother. She has the most pure heart ever known to man. She is free from all sin and God once physically dwelt within her womb. Your soul's mother is as gentle as any woman could be.
She is a living vessel of love. Open up the doors to her heart and she will show you what love is. No one loved Jesus more than Mary did, so she can teach you how to love Him. She can show you how to treat everyone as a son or daughter. She also is your teacher in prayer. She shows you how to pray even during your everyday tasks. Now you are able to pray always, just as she has always done.
You encounter another door that looks spectacular. Mary hands you the key to open that door but you do not know what to expect. You do not know if you will be able to handle it. The door is just so large and you are afraid. Then your mother, who realizes your fear, holds you in her arms and says that you are ready to go in there. The lady sweetly says, "Just remember all that I have taught you."
Mary takes you by the hand and simply gazing at her loving face you feel the courage to take the next step. You use the key to open the door and you step in.
You are in awe because you realize that you are in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In His Sacred Heart you find things in it that you never dreamed possible. Jesus eagerly welcomes you into His loving arms, never letting you go. Then, Mary warmly says that, "You could not have entered the Sacred Heart of my Son without first going through my own heart, because I am the one who possesses the key."
