immaculate heart

Perfectly pure soul

Immaculate Heart refers to the heart of the Virgin Mary in Roman Catholic devotion, symbolizing her purity, love, and freedom from sin.

The devotion emphasizes Mary's interior life and her perfect receptivity to God's will.

Often depicted in religious art as a heart pierced by a sword or surrounded by roses and flames, it parallels the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The parish held a novena to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Many Catholic schools and churches bear the name Immaculate Heart.
