TO THE MOTHER OF GOD, QUEEN OF ALL THE SAINTS! O Heart of Mary, full of goodness and compassion for our miseries, vouchsafe to melt our frozen hearts, and grant that they may be entirely turned towards the Heart of our Divine Saviour. AMEN!!! SAINT OF THE DAY MONDAY - 24/03/2014 +BLESSED MARIA KARLOWSKA+ Religious (1865-1935) Maria Karlowska was born in the territories under Prussian occupation in 1865. She worked as a true Samaritan among women suffering great material and moral deprivation. Her holy zeal quickly attracted a group of disciples of Christ, with whom she founded the Congregation of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd of Divine Providence. For herself and her Sisters she set the following goal: We must proclaim the Heart of Jesus, that is, so to live from him, in him and for him, as to become like him and that in our lives he may be more visible than we ourselves. Her devotion to the Saviours Sacred Heart bore fruit in a great love for people. She felt an insatiable hunger for love. A love of this kind, according to Blessed Maria Karlowska, will never say enough, will never stop midway. Precisely this happened to her, who was as it were transported by the current of love of the Divine Paraclete. Thanks to this love she restored to many souls the light of Christ and helped them to regain their lost dignity. REFLECTION: The heart is, above all, the emblem of love, and by this characteristic, the devotion to the Sacred Heart is naturally defined. However, being directed to the loving Heart of Jesus, it naturally encounters whatever in Jesus is connected with this love. May we have much love in the devotion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus as Blessed Maria Karlowska did. BLESSED MARIA KARLOWSKA, PRAY FOR US, AMEN!!!!
