“Would you like to offer yourselves to God to make sacrifices and to accept willingly all the sufferings it may please him to send you, in order to make reparation for so many sins which offend the divine majesty, to obtain the conversion of sinners and to make amends for all the blasphemies and offences committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary?" -Our Lady of Fatima to the three little children on Sunday, 13th May 1917.

The Immaculate Heart of Mary
Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary began as early as the twelfth century. During the seventeenth century in France, St John Eudes popularised this devotion along with that to the Sacred Heart. St Luke’s Gospel twice mentions that Mary ‘kept all these things in her heart’, pondering the word of God. Mary shows us how to listen to the words the Holy Spirit speaks to us in the depths of our hearts, and how to respond in faith.
