The heart symbolizes love, and the red color is a second symbol for love.  The heart is the center of human emotions and feelings, wisdom and insight, desire and motivation, joy and sorrow, courage and fear. Mary’s heart was pulsing with love for her son Jesus.

The heart is circled with white roses, which symbolize Mary’s purity, sinlessness, and holiness.

The flame at the top of the heart symbolizes zeal and devotion, and show Mary’s fervor, loyalty, and affection for her Son.

There is a flower sprouting from the burning flames. Its white petals are another sign of Mary’s purity, sinlessness, and holiness.

Oh Mary, powerful Virgin and Mother of mercy, Queen of Heaven and Refuge of sinners, we consecrate ourselves to your Immaculate Heart. We consecrate our being and our entire life to you; everything we have, everything we love, everything we are.
