Mary’s Sweet Perfume

Posted on by

I am using this picture of Mary to illustrate a point, and that is the fascinating and beautiful manifestations of ‘a heavenly perfume‘ often recorded in the lives of Saints and in appearances of the Holy Mother of God.

Although it is true that we live by faith, God can also touch us, communicate with us, through our senses. I think the manifestation of heavenly perfumes is a very lovely and beautiful grace that will only be understood by those who have the hearts of Children.

The Picture of Mary above is intended to depict her Immaculate and perfect heart of love, but see that the artist has done so by placing roses in her heart, and so her heart is truly an open rose, exuding all sweetness and drawing men to her beauty. Note also the sword! for it is a truly suffering love for Christ that makes the human person beautiful.

I have sent you an account of recently approved appearances of Mary at Laus, Our Lady of Laus (Praise), it is situated high up in the alps and what touched me was that the place is known, although they cannot say expressly why, to exude sweet perfume, and in this months St. Anthony’s Messenger the Bishop of Laus himself states that he has perceived it. It is a very simple story reminiscent of Saint Bernadette and Lourdes.

Spend some time today thinking of the Divine perfume that accompanies Mary, it is a breath of heaven.
