Immaculate Heart of Mary Statue - 36.5 inches tall

from the Joseph Studio Renaissance Collection

Intercessory devotion to the Immaculate Heart focuses on Mary's love for God and encourages our emulating her humility, gratitude, obedience, and adoration. Reference to the Heart of Mary is in the Gospel according to St. Luke: .."Mary treasured all these things and reflected on them in her heart. " Luke 2:19
and
"Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, 'Look, he is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is opposed--and a sword will pierce your soul too--so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.'" -Luke 2:35

The image also draws us to meditate on "Mary's interior life, her joys and sorrows, her virtues and hidden perfections, and, above all, her virginal love for her God, her maternal love for her Divine Son, and her motherly and compassionate love for her sinful and miserable children here below." -from The Catholic Encyclopedia
