His most holy Mother's heart (St. Francis de Sales)

   Love draws all pains, all torments, travails, sufferings, griefs, the wounds, the passion, the cross and even the death of our Redeemer into his most holy Mother’s heart. Alas, the same nails that crucified the body of this divine Child also crucified the heart of his Mother, the same thorns that pierced his head pierced through the soul of this utterly sweet Mother; she bore the same miseries as her Son through commiseration, the same dolorous experiences through condolence, the same passions through compassion; and, in short, the sword of death that pierced the body of this most beloved Son likewise pierced through the heart of this very loving Mother. She might thus have said that he was a sachet of myrrh between her breasts, that is to say, in her bosom and in the center of her heart. 

--St. Francis de Sales,
Treatise on the Love of God
