The present article seeks to consider the multidimensional character of the believer’s life, taking as its starting point the metaphor of the heart, as an expression of mercy realised in manifold ways in the piety and rationality of the believer, but especially in devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Indeed, faith and piety cannot do without the contribution of cordial reason for a spirituality that transforms and leads to Christ. The text begins by stressing the Christian and incarnational realism of the “heart of Mary”, with its Biblical and anthropological bases, going on afterwards from devotion to theology and mysticism. In this way it seeks to show how devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary takes on the incarnation possible in the here and now, bearing witness to the silent drama of so vast a humanity that has lost its hope and its heart.
