'God wants to establish devotion to the Immaculate Heart in the world, because the world must recognize with utmost gratitude what this heart has done for it.'

Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is more pressing than ever and essential if humanity is to turn from an era dominated by a culture of death towards entering the mystery of the true love of God, a Franciscan Mariologist has said.

Italian Franciscan Father Alessandro Maria Apollonio believes that the image of true love par excellence can be witnessed through devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, “the first maternal cooperator, closest to us, of our joy, which will only be complete in paradise.”

In this recent interview with the Register on the sidelines of “A Day With Mary” conference in London, Father Apollonio observed the inadequate response to the Lord’s invitation to establish a global devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and why a proper response by mankind is so urgently needed.

A teacher of philosophy and theology currently living in Slovakia, Father Apollonio chaired the Aug. 6-8 London symposium, which brought together Mariologists from across the world.

Yes! 'God wants to establish devotion to the Immaculate Heart in the world, because the world must recognize with utmost gratitude what this heart has done for it.'

The Two Hearts - the Heart of Jesus and the heart of Mary are eternally now bound to each other, united with each other, in the mysteries of God seen from a different perspective in the above post Theological implications of Microchimerism. The whole Christian world especially, and first, should know of the Union of the Two Hearts in the plan and designs of God the Holy Trinity. The entire world should know the heights and depths of God's love for humanity, manifest in the mysteries of the Divine penetration of eternal love into the creation of humanity - male and female - in the Divine image and likeness - that human persons might find their meaning in Him, in Holy Love.

The well-known dream of St. John Bosco - the ship of the Church under fierce attack, but remaining safe if anchored to the Two Towers of 1) the Holy Eucharist and 2) rightful devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary - this prophetic dream was from God, and for especially the End Times, and for the Church to fully receive obediently as His Holy Will.
