"The love of God does not allow him to sleep, but incites him to conquer, in a greater way each day, his heart for the Immaculate that She, in and through him, may penetrate also into other hearts and prepare a throne of love for Her Divine Son in them. In a word, the knight of the Immaculate is he who battles to conquer all hearts for Her..." (Writings # 1325)
Often when we think of the great missionaries, zealous knights of the Immaculata, we envision great men and women who brought countless souls to love of God. We just as often forget that the real greatness of these men and women was in the fact that their own hearts had been conquered for the Lord. There is not a saint who did not have a gentle and vibrant love for the Immaculate Mother. Likewise, when we welcome Mary into our hearts, She prepares a throne for Jesus. Finally, Christ reigning, He works freely through and with His mother to use us as He wills for the spreading of His Kingdom.
The King of the Universe uses US to spread His Kingdom! THAT is worth losing sleep over...
