Mary, Model of Eucharistic life

On February 27, 1868, upon the advice of her spiritual advisor Father Calage S.J., Blessed Mary of Jesus (Mary Deluil-Martiny, foundress of the Congregation of the Daughters of the Heart of Jesus), outlined the plan of her future work. Her newly-founded institute would fulfil the wishes expressed by Our Lord to Saint Margaret Mary. The model for this life of Eucharistic reparation would be the Virgin Mary's life after the glorious Ascension of Jesus.

At Calvary, Mary offered the sacrifice of her Son, and united herself to it. After the Resurrection, she offered that same sacrifice by the hands of St John the Apostle, helping the Church and the apostles by prayer and her silent, hidden sacrifice. After the Ascension of Jesus, Mary remained on earth alone with her memories, alone with her treasure hidden in the Eucharist, alone with the newborn Spouse, the Church, whose cradle was entrusted to her.

What filled the soul and the life of Mary during these years that are shrouded in mystery and seldom meditated upon? It was the Eucharist, Calvary, and the Church.
