Triumph of the Immaculate Heart

www.etsy.com/shop/thefrenchmadonna

You who radiate peace, dear Mary,
help us to break this obsession with war
and vanquish the culture of death.



Too many people have died, Blessed Mother,
and no amount of official explanations
and strategic manipulations
can possible justify such suffering.




At this very moment, all over the planet,
dozens of battles are raging,
like bursts of flame exploding
from different zones of a forest on fire.





Whether they take the form of the 
massive bloodshed of entire communities
or single acts of domestic violence,
your Mother-Heart will not tolerate such hatred.



You break yourself open
and offer us the only true antidote
to the poison of global strife:
universal love.

Queen of my Heart

Queen of Heaven

Mary stands at the heart of the Christian mystical experience,
as did Demeter in Greece and Isis in Egypt
and the Shekinah in the Jewish mystical tradition.



She is the mystery sought or stumbled upon by those who
have opened their hearts to the transforming
power of her love


Some of the greatest of the Christian mystics, have
all penetrated to this secret heart of the Christian vision.
And they have experienced Mary as the mystical core
of their being in the image of their own soul
awakening to the revelation it carries.


Angelus Silesius wrote : I must become Mary and give birth to God.




Meister Eckhart spoke often of he greatest Christian mystery -
the birthing of Christ within the soul.

In these glorified beings woman and man are shown
as the mystery they are and as the enlightened beings
they could become.
