Saint Maximilian Kolbe: Loving God with the Heart of Mary

"The more you will belong to the Immaculate, the more you will approach the wounds of the Savior, the Eucharist, the Heart of Jesus and God our Father with courage and freedom (...). The more we remain in the Immaculate, the better we understand and love the Heart of the Lord Jesus, God the Father, and the whole Trinity. But all this, all these supernatural things, only she can form them in us and through us." (St. Maximilian Kolbe, 10.11.1934, Letter, ESI. p.86)

"The soul that looks at all this revelation of love wishes to return love for love. But from experience we know that we are very weak. And this is where the love of the Divine Heart manifests itself, of he who gives us his own Mother so that we can love him with her own heart; not with our poor heart, but with her immaculate heart. The love of the Immaculate is the most perfect love with which a creature can love her God. With this heart, let us try to love the heart of Jesus more and more, and let this be our greatest desire. We must see to it that many souls receive everything from her and that many souls be united to the Most Sweet Heart of Jesus through her. We must first submit our hearts to her, and then all the other hearts.” (St. Maximilian Kolbe, 28.06.1936, Conference, ESI. p.88)

"She alone will teach us how to love the Lord Jesus, far better, without comparison, than all the books and all the teachers. She teaches us to love him as she loves him. And all our efforts must be directed to the fact that it is she alone who loves the Lord Jesus with our hearts." (St. Maximilian Kolbe, 03.09.1937: lecture, ESI, p.88)
