Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary ~
August 27th
TWELVE METHODS OF PRACTISING THIS DEVOTION
(continued)
The third is the feast of the Sorrows of the Pure Heart of the Mother of Jesus, which is celebrated on the Friday following Passion Sunday.
The fourth is the feast of the Resurrection of the Heart of Mary which was restored to life by the Resurrection of her Divine Son: "(Her) spirit (was) revived," and overwhelmed with the greatest joy imaginable when this beloved Son visited her after His Resurrection. For that reason this feast is observed under the name of the Apparition of the Risen Jesus to His Most Holy Mother, on the first free day after the octave of Easter.
~ Saint John Eudes, The Admirable Heart of the Most Holy Mother of God (1680)
