Immaculate Heart of Mary / 

Inmaculado Corazón de María

The Immaculate Heart of Mary signifies, first of all, the great purity and love of the heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary for God. This purity is manifested in her “Yes” to the Father at the Incarnation, Her love for, and cooperation with, the Incarnate Son in His redemptive mission, and her docility to the Holy Spirit, enabling her to remain free of the stain of personal sin throughout her life. Mary’s Immaculate Heart, therefore, points us to her profound interior life, where she experienced both joys and sorrows, yet remained faithful, as we, too, are called to do.

O Immaculate Heart of Mary,
refuge of sinners,
I beg of you by the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
and by the graces God has granted to you since your Immaculate Conception,
the grace of never going astray again.

Mother, keep me, a sinner,
constantly bathed in the light of your Immaculate Heart.
Amen.

Oh Inmaculado Corazón de María,
refugio de los pecadores,
Os lo ruego por los infinitos méritos del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús,
y por las gracias que Dios te ha concedido desde tu Inmaculada Concepción,
la gracia de no extraviarse nunca más.

Madre, guárdame, pecador,
constantemente bañados por la luz de tu Inmaculado Corazón.
Amén.
