,F X - s 1139 fffff- R b 'AD JEBUM PER MARIAH' Once our dear Saviour made a consoling promise to St. Bridget: 'Ask for favors through the Heart of My Mother and you shall obtain what you desire.' Ever since, innumerable persons in every kind of need have come to the feet of Christ to obtain through the Heart of Mary grace and a favorable hearing. Now since the apparltions in Fatima the urgent u request of Our Lord is more emphatic and irresistible, as the Blessed Virgin Mary's words demonstrateQ We honor the Heart of Mary because the Heart of Mary is the faithful guardian and the sacred depository. St. Luke wishes to inform us that there is one Heart above all others, that is penetrated with all these divine things, and has preserved and weighed them adequately. 'His Mother kept all these things in her Heart,' But She did not keep all these things in her heart for her own advantageg she kept them also for usg she kept them as sacred relics, as the foundation stones on which her Son wished to build His Church. We honor the Immaculate Heart of Mary, because it is the foundation of the spiritual life of the world. The 'FIAT' that made Mary Mother of God and of Man, sprang from her Immaculate Heart.

,,flEE2E9 !,f,ff4v Xa --:X We honor the Heart of Mary, because it is the COUNTERPART of the Heart of Jesus. After the Heart of Jesus, it is the PUREST and HOLIEST Heart that ever beat within a human body. The Heart of Jesus is a LOVING Heart, 'full of goodness and love.W So is Mary's Heart, the most affectionate of hearts after that of Jesus'. We honor the Heart of Mary, because Our Blessed Lady, in her apparitions to the three little shepherds of Fatima, ex- pressly told them to pray to her Immaculate Heart for the con- version of sinners. 'To save them, Our Lord wishes that there be established in the whole world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I tell you is done, MANY SOULS will be saved.' The Heart of Mary is the book of life, in it God writes all those who honor her Immaculate Heart with special devotion. Veneration of the Immaculate Heart of Mary goes hand in hand with adoration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. --Julia Bucci '50 UAN APPRECIATION'- Our Sophomore Year has come to an end, and with it our school days at St. Joseph's.
