That honor Jesus
Go to Jesus through Mary, c is truly honor Jesus Christ, because it's mark that we are not worthy to approach his infinite holiness directly by ourselves because of our sins, and that we need Mary, his Holy Mother, be our advocate and mediator with him who is our mediator. It is both close to him as our mediator and our brother, and humble ourselves before Him as our God and to judge: in short, is to practice humility that always delights the heart of God ... Dedicating and to Jesus through Mary is put in the hands of Mary our good deeds that seem good though, are often dirty and unworthy of sight and acceptance of God before whom the stars are not pure.
Ah! ask the good mother and teacher that, having received our poor Now it purifies, sanctifies it, she raises and embellishment so that it makes him worthy of God. All of our revenues are lower soul before God, the Father of the family, to win his friendship and grace, that would be before the king the wormy apple of a poor peasant farmer of his Majesty, to pay his farm. What would the poor man, he was witty and whether it was coming from the queen? Friend of the poor peasant and respectful to the king, she not detracted from the apple what is rotten and spoiled and do not put it in a golden basin surrounded by flowers, and the king could it help to receive it, even with joy at the hands of the queen who loves the peasant ... Offerre desides modicum quid? manibus Mariae tradere cura, if not screw sustinere repulsam. If you want to offer something to God, says St. Bernard, put [him] in the hands of Mary, unless you want to be rebuffed.
