"The prodigy of his age"

Today we celebrate the life of St. John Eudes, founder of the Congregation og Jesus and Mary and the Sisters of Our lady of Charity of The Refuge. St. John Eudes wrote Propers for Mass and Divine Office of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. He was called by Jean-Jacques Olier " the prodigy of his age". 
"You must never separate what God has so perfectly united. So closely are Jesus and Mary bound up with each other that whoever beholds Jesus sees Mary; whoever loves Jesus, loves Mary; whoever has devotion to Jesus, has devotion to Mary."
