Why gather devotions to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary?
It's not uncommon when we talk about the Immaculate Heart of Mary for people not to understand that there is "already" the Sacred Heart. Isn't this a kind of duplication? Can't we choose? The answer is as follows.
The love between Christ and the Blessed Virgin makes them so united that their Hearts are in fact one. than one.
C’est ce qu’explique Saint Jean-Eudes: devotion aux Cœurs of Jesus and Marie is in the image of the Holy Trinity there is a single devotion to a single heartbut composed of hearts of two people.
Let's not forget that the Blessed Virgin herself asked that these two Hearts be placed on the Miraculous Medal. Thehe teachings of the saints, the Popes and Fatima converge on this supreme devotion. Let's listen to them:
Visit renting this Heart adorable, (the Sacré–Coeur )
I rent with proportion
Visit Heart from its Mother admirable,
So much is large their union.
Saint Louis-Marie Grignon de Montfort
"The Heart of Jesus wants that, à sound atwe worship the Heart Immaculate of Mary."
Jacinta, one of Fatima's seers before her death
" Les fidèles doivent veiller à associer étroitement le culte du Sacré-Cœur et le culte envers le Cœur Immaculé de Marie, car notre salut vient de l’amour et des souffrances de Jésus-Christ indissolublement unis à l’amour et aux souffrances de sa Mère. "
Pius XII, December 8 1942, the day he consecrated the world for the 2nd time to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
At Fatima, the hearts of Jesus and Mary will be brought together from the outset. Indeed, the Angel who appeared 3 times to the children in 2016 to prepare them for the coming of the Blessed Virgin spoke to them about it each time.

On May 29, 1930, Sister Lucia wrote:
" The good Lord promises to put an end to the persecution in Russia, if the Holy Father deigns to make, and orders the Bishops of the Catholic world to make as well, a solemn and public act of reparation and consecration of Russia to the Most Holy Trinity. Holy Hearts of Jesus and of Mary, His Holiness promising, in return for the end of this persecution, to approve and recommend the practice of reparative devotion. "
In a magnificent letter entitled L'appel de Fatima, she said:
"In the closest possible union between two human beings, Christ began in Mary the work of our salvation. The beating of Christ's heart is the beating of Mary's heart; Christ's prayer is Mary's prayer. de Marie, Christ received his body and blood, which were respectively immolated and poured out for the salvation of the world. (...) And we can think that the aspirations of Mary's Heart were absolutely identified with the aspirations of Christ's Heart (...) and that the love of Mary's Heart was the love of Christ's Heart towards his Father and towards mankind. (...) Ever since the father a entrusted to Mary her Son, keeping him for nine months in her chaste and virginal womb, and since Mary by her free "yes" placed herself at the disposal of God's will as his handmaid for whatever he might wish to work in her, since then and by God's will, Mary has become, with Christ, co-redemptrix of mankind.
Finally, Cardinal Cerejeira, former Bishop of Fatima, will conclude with these words that sum it all up:
"Fatima, a some at, is the continuation, or better the conclusion of Paray–the–Monial : Fatima reunites these two Hearts that God him–even a uni dans l’work the divine redemption. "
