a creature in whom God is so honored
as the most Blessed Virgin Mary.

The Blessed Virgin had most perfect grace,
more than any other holy person, except Christ alone;
she avoided all sin.

yet she thought of herself only as the handmaid of the Lord.
Let us do the same.

For every Christian,
Mary is the first one who believed.

The Blessed Virgin alone conceived Christ in her womb,
yet all the faithful carry Him in the devotion of their hearts.
Happy are we, if we diligently strive
to bear Him in our thoughts.

before she conceived him in her womb.
