MARY'S HEART- MERCY
3. The Heavenly Mother.
The marvelous point about this maternal mercy of the Virgin is that it did not, as is the case of earthly mothers, come to an end at death. She is now in Heaven and in spite of Her elevation to a throne so near to God Her Heart keeps always the same, though in Heaven there are no tears to wipe away nor miseries nor sufferings of any sort. Yet She has not forgot Her wretched children. If there has been any change in the Heart of Mary, it is that now from Heaven the Heart of Mary, Empress, is more compassionate, more clement, more merciful, and in a better position to help Her wretched children down below.
In Heaven Her mercy is most active. She works incessantly for souls. Sometimes by interceding for us, at other times by showering with full hands torrents of graces into our hearts. The most unfortunate, the most wretched, the greatest sinners are the chief objects of Her intercession. She witnesses from Heaven the wild attacks directed by the devil against souls and then She infuses courage and grants graces that ensure victory.
Particularly She will come to the rescue with Her merciful Heart in that final battle of our life and will lead to victory the souls of those that love Her. How many times have the angels of Heaven been the messengers of peace, of consolation and of hope, sent by Her to those who invoked Her in the battle!
Ask your guardian angel whence come so many inspirations, so many knocks at the door of your heart, so many helps, and he will tell you that it is his Mistress and Queen who commands him, who gives no rest, but rather urges him to toil more and more to protect your soul.
