I forgot to mention this, but for those who are attending Mass tomorrow, stay for a few more minutes at the very least after Mass ends in prayer. I tell you this because during that time, Our Lord is still within us and praying during that time makes our prayers far more efficacious.

"Liberalism of every degree and all forms has been formally condemned; so much so (53) that outside of the motives of its intrinsic malice, it stands under the formal ban of the Church, which is sufficient for all faithful Catholics. It would be impossible for an error so widespread and so radical to escape condemnation.

Upon its appearance in France at the time of the Revolution, the famous Declaration of the Rights of Man, which contains in germ all the follies of Liberalism, was condemned by Pius VI. Later the baneful doctrine infected all the countries of Europe. In Spain it first took the name of Liberalism, under which it has since been known everywhere."

One last topic which will be touched upon with the Immaculate Heart is how it has ties to the Seven Sorrows Devotion. For how come this is so, please go through the posts going through the Seven Sorrows Devotion. As for the importance of the Seven Sorrows Devotion, due to the fact the Blessed Virgin Mary has always been unsullied, even by the mystical corruption of sin, she alone suffers far more than we do when she is offended just by the very fact she is totally innocent in all things, let alone how she is able to suffer higher degrees of suffering and how her suffering is magnified all the more. To put into perspective the consequence of this reality alone, if Mary's pain was distributed among all of mankind who was and will ever be born, all of them would instantly die just at the Prophecy of Simeon alone.

In a sense, the Immaculate Heart Devotion shows how the suffering of Mary is within itself a mystery, for we can never truly grasp the fullness of the ocean of her suffering. As for how come this important, the Woman in Apocalypse 12 has birth pains when giving birth to her children and the Lamb, and since suffering can be used for the salvation of souls, Mary's sufferings used throughout her entire life were used for the atonement of sins in conjunction of the suffering of Our Lord. Thus, we are not only obliged to do whatever we can to console the Immaculate Heart, but if one's mother was greatly grieved and that person could not help themselves but console their mother, how much more true is it for us to console us the Blessed Virgin for her sake, most especially by the decrees of Our Lord Himself?

There are thorns within the Immaculate Heart which are caused by five common blasphemies. As for how come there are those who blaspheme the Blessed Virgin Mary, it is by the virtue of the fact they hate God in their hearts, whether or not they want to admit this to themselves or others. In a matter of fact, it is not only a universal trend among all the heretics, schismatics, apostates and infidels to do this when they positively hate God, as seen with the heretics performing iconclasm and going out of their way to desecrate Marian shrines (as seen with the Protestants, Mohammedans and iconclasts), St. Louis de Monfort asserts that a hatred of the Blessed Virgin is an infallible sign of reprobation. For the five most common blasphemies against the BVM are the following:

I. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception.
Ex: Eastern Orthodox as a response to the Immaculate Conception being declared a dogma

II. Against her virginity.
Ex: Modern-day Protestants

III. Against the Divine Maternity, refusing at the same time to accept her as the Mother of all mankind
Ex: Mohammedans and Nestorians

IV. Those who try publicly to implant in the children's hearts indifference, contempt, and even hatred against this Immaculate Mother
Ex: Lukewarm Catholics

V. Those who insult her directly in her sacred images.
Ex: Satanists, liberals of all stripes, revolutionaries, neo-pagans

As for how come a defense of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a necessity to be a part of the elect, not only does Mary have de facto omnipotence through her most sublime intercession to the Son of God (seen in the Gospel of John), but Mary is the New Eve, and if one attacks Mary, they most especially attack God by either saying God was born of a woman who was under the jurisdiction of Satan, despite Genesis 3:15 makes it clear that Mary and Satan have a total war with each other. The mark of Lucifer is manifestly obvious in those who attack Mary, and these tools of the diabolical are hurting the heart of the Woman who loves them far more than they could ever know, despite the fact Mary herself is not even God, and this love further magnifies the pain inflicted upon God the Son.

A very potent devotion within itself, the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary is well-known due to the Fatima apparitions, which their words should be lived out and meditated upon all day. In light of this, there are other elements of the Immaculate Heart Devotion either overlooked or taken for granted.

𝔐𝔞𝔤𝔫𝔦𝔣𝔠𝔞𝔱:
By far the most overlooked aspect of the Immaculate Devotion is how it personifies the Magnificat (Luke 1:46–55), wherein Mary magnifies the Lord, and not only that, but how Mary herself points towards the Most Holy Trinity in all of her beauty, virtue, and privileges. As for how come this is so, when closely inspected, the reasons become manifestly obvious, but this will be summarized as simply as possible in order to prevent unnecessary use of words and allowing the reader to piece these things themselves.

I. The First Saturday Devotion is an easier and more lenient First Friday Devotion in virtually all things, as well granting sometimes the same promises but to lesser degrees.

II. Eating the Eucharist and utilizing Penance puts an emphasis on the priests, since you go to Jesus through them, and eat of Jesus' Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity.

III. The Most Holy Rosary is principally about Jesus' Life, Death, and Resurrection.

IV. The Fatima apparitions began when Christendom died around the end of WW I and it is by the means of the Immaculate Heart Christ the King shall rule the entire world with His Sacred Heart, fulfilling what would have transpired in France if the Bourbons obeyed Our Lord's commands.

V. The Fatima apparitions also have an emphasis on Jesus Christ, the Eucharist, and the Most Holy Trinity, where in a sense they started back even in 1916.

Within a void, the Sacred Heart Devotion may seem like a neat side-thing, but this is quite far from the truth. In a matter of fact, the Sacred Heart Devotion is extremely vital, more than ever before. As for how come this is so, we must first look at what St. Margaret Marie Alacoque requested of King Louis XIV.

I. The first message is addressed to kings : "He desires to enter pompously and magnificently into the house of princes and kings, to be honored, as much as he has been outraged, despised and humiliated in his passion... that the adorable Heart of his divine Son was received ... to establish his empire in the heart of our Great Monarch, from which he wants to serve for the execution of his designs."

II. The second message is: "to build a building where the painting of this divine Heart will be, to receive the consecration and the homage of the King and of the whole court..."

III. The third message asks the King: "to be painted on his standards and engraved on his weapons to make him victorious over all his enemies, by bringing down at his feet the proud and superb heads, in order to make him triumphant to all the enemies of the Holy Church ".

As for how come these details are important, 100 years to the day when St. Margaret Marie Alacoque requested these things to the King of France, the Siege of the Bastille occurred. By that point, Louis XVI was unable to consecrate France to the Sacred Heart, and he was killed by les enfants d'antichrist, for if they did not kill Louis XVI, then they would be forced to concede that the King of France was innocent even by their arbitrary standards. Not only this, but prior to the French Revolution, Freemasonry was growing in France and staged a vast majority of the events to follow through the way they did (except for Louis XVI being goated into supporting the American Revolution to spite the British Empire). As for how come this is all important to keep in mind, since Christendom has been dead ever since the end of World War II, and the Masonic-liberal hell we are in is only a result of a systematic extermination of the Catholic faith, only an extraordinary miracle can save man by the means of Russia being consecrated to the Immaculate Heart, with the Immaculate Heart Devotion is quintessentially an easier Sacred Heart Devotion, and even Sr. Lucia points out how there are similarities between Russia's and France's consecration.

As for how it all ties altogether, during the French Revolution, there was constant raping and killing of innocents, the devotees of Satan and liberalism consolidating power towards themselves and advocating for depopulation by a significant percentage, illicit political moves performed and the slandering of the rightful leader at the time, and more. What should stick out the most is how the French Revolution not only abolished the Mass, a form of the Abomination spoken by the Prophet Daniel, but +90% of the bishops apostatized and served the "First Republic," how communism solely exists because of the ideals of the French Revolution, and most importantly, the Vendee Genocide, where even liberal supporters of this Antichrist regime were ruthlessly slaughtered in order to snuff out the Catholic movement there at all costs. In lieu of Our Lady of Kibeho's warnings, the general mass apostasy, Russia not being consecrated, the omnipresence of communism and Cult of Antichrist, us being close to the Fifth Revolution (the Satanic Revolution), etc, this serves as a basis of what to look towards and what to generally expect.

An escheton within itself, the Sacred Heart Devotion is the greatest of all devotions to Our Lord Jesus the Nazarene King of the Jews, for not only does it meditate upon God's intense love for mankind, but it is in the honor of Christ the King, and being dedicated to the Most Holy Eucharist Itself. While the devotion began to get major traction in the 1600s, its origins are found back as far as the Last Supper, where St. John rested his head on Jesus' Sacred Heart, and this is affirmed to St. Gertrude the Great.

Although it is not the Eucharist Itself, Spiritual Communions are the next-best thing and something every Catholic should be making every single day. Something to keep in mind is even though there is no exact formula to make a Spiritual Communion, the saints have composed their own and the general gist is the following:
-An ardent desire to be with Jesus in the Eucharist
-embracing Our Lord

St. Alphonsus Ligouri-
My Jesus, I believe that Thou art present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love Thee above all things and I desire Thee in my soul. Since I cannot now receive Thee sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though Thou wert already there, I embrace Thee and unite myself wholly to Thee; permit not that I should ever be separated from Thee. Amen.

Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val-
At Thy feet, O my Jesus, I prostrate myself and I offer Thee repentance of my contrite heart, which is humbled in its nothingness and in Thy holy presence. I adore Thee in the Sacrament of Thy love, the ineffable Eucharist. I desire to receive Thee into the poor dwelling that my heart offers Thee. While waiting for the happiness of sacramental communion, I wish to possess Thee in spirit. Come to me, O my Jesus, since I, for my part, am coming to Thee! May Thy love embrace my whole being in life and in death. I believe in Thee, I hope in Thee, I love Thee. Amen

Among the greatest of the saints, only being below the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph is arguably the most underused saint of them all. Not only are his privileges and gifts unparalleled, St. Joseph serves far more than what people think, where the amount of things he had to do and how intricately connected St. Joseph is to the Divine Plan of Salvation.

𝔍𝔬𝔰𝔢𝔭𝔥 (יוסף):
The name "Joseph" means "add" in Hebrew. For how come this is significant, St. Joseph is not only has protodulia, which is below hyperdulia, but to have a devotion to St. Joseph is ultimately to love Jesus and Mary all the more. Also considering how St. Joseph is the Light of the Patriarchs, he adds upon the glory of the Son of David by the virtue of the fact St. Joseph has no equal within the context of male saints, as well how it is only fitting Jesus would have an image of the Father to take care and teach Jesus in His humanity, as well to be the most excellent model of loving one's spouse and loving the Blessed Virgin Mary.

While St. Joseph himself was not the biological father or Divine Father of Jesus, he was needed regardless. As for how come this was so, besides to prevent the Blessed Virgin and Jesus being shunned from those who would have thought Jesus was conceived from illicit means, it was also by the male line the Davidic monarchy was passed down. By the fact in the Old Covenant, those who named the child was considered the father and there was no real linguistic or cultural distinction between a foster father and a biological father, in a very real sense, Joseph was truly the Father Jesus, the Father of God, in this particular context. Not only this, but it is only fitting the only words we positively know which came from the mouth of St. Joseph is the Most Holy Name of Jesus, where St. Joseph would have to tell the priest what to name the Infant Jesus.
