Mary's Mission and the Holy Spirit

	Mary's heart is abundantly filled with the Holy Spirit. The day after the Society of the Holy Heart of Mary merged with the Spiritans (the Congregation of the Holy Spirit), Libermann wrote in the Rules: “The Congregation... especially consecrates its members to the Holy Spirit, author and consummator of all holiness, and inspirer of the apostolic spirit, and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, abundantly filled with the Holy Spirit, the fullness of holiness and of the apostolate, participating the most perfectly in the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, her Son, for the redemption of the world.” (…) “ will consider the Immaculate Heart of Mary like a perfect model of faithfulness to all the divine inspirations of the Holy Spirit and of the interior practice of the virtues of the religious and apostolic life. They will find in it a refuge, to which they will flee in their labors and pains.” Jacob Libermann (1852)
