The month of August is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Since the 16th century Catholic piety has assigned entire months to special devotions. The month of August is traditionally dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Such devotion is an incentive to a similar love and virtue. Read more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immaculate_Heart_of_Mary
The image was inspired by scripture as, "His father and mother wondered at what was said about the child. Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother, "See him; he will be for the rise or fall of the multitudes of Israel. He shall stand as a sign of contradiction, while a sword will pierce your own soul. Then the secret thoughts of many may be brought to light."" - Luke 2:33-35
