Devotion to Mary
Early this century, Pope Saint Pius X declared that "true devotion to Christ demands true devotion to Mary." More recently, Pope John Paul II urged an increase in devotion to the Mother of God at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. and called her "a sign of contradiction to the world and, at the same time, the sign of hope whom all generations shall call blessed." The Blessed Virgin herself assured us at Fatima (1917) that peace will come to the world "when there is practiced sufficient devotion to my Immaculate Heart."
The reason for devotion to Mary and her Immaculate Heart should be clear to every Catholic. Since "it has pleased God to grant us all graces through the intercession of Mary" (Pope Benedict XV), it is only logical and right that we seek such graces through the proper channel. Saint Bernardine (d. 1444) has written: "All graces are dispensed by Mary's hands to whomever she wishes, whenever she wishes, and in whatever way she wishes." That assertion was forcefully borne out by the Blessed Virgin nearly four centuries later, when she appeared in Paris to a humble Sister of Charity, Catherine Laboure`.
