St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort
by the Blessed Virgin Mary that Jesus Christ came into the world, and it is also through her that he must reign in the world. Mary was very hidden in his life, which is why it is called by the Holy Spirit and the Church Alma Mater ... "Mother and hidden secret"
[1] . His humility was so profound that it has not been attraction on earth more powerful and more continuous, than to hide itself and to every creature, only to be known only to God.
God to fulfill the requests it in him to hide it, impoverishing and humiliating, took pleasure in hiding in its conception, its birth in his life, his mysteries, in His resurrection and Assumption in respect of all human creatures
[2] . His own parents do not know
[3] and the angels would often ask each other: is Quoe ista? .. "Who is that? "Because the Most High they hid; or, if discovered them something, he hid them infinitely more.
God the Father has consented that it made no miracle in his life, at least that broke out, although she is given the power, God the Son has made it scarcely speak, although he had communicated his wisdom and God the Holy Spirit has agreed that the apostles and evangelists only speak very little and that so it was necessary to know Jesus Christ, though it was his faithful wife
[4] .
Mary is the great masterpiece of the Most High, which he reserved knowledge and possession. Mary is the Mother of the Son admirable, he took pleasure in humiliating and hide
[5] during his life to promote his humility, treating the name "woman, mulier, like a stranger
[6] , though in his heart he esteemed and loved him more than all the angels and men. Mary is the sealed fountain and the faithful wife of the Holy Spirit, where there is only he who enters. Mary is the sanctuary and the rest of the Holy Trinity, where God is most beautifully and divinely no place in the universe, not excepting his dwelling upon the cherubim and seraphim And he is allowed to any creature, however pure it may be, to enter without a great privilege
[7] .
I say with the saints: the divine Mary is the earthly paradise of the new Adam, where he became incarnate by the operation. the Holy Spirit, to work wonders incomprehensible is the great and the divine world of God, where there are ineffable beauties and treasures, it is the magnificence of the Most High, where he hid, as in it, his only Son
[8] , and in him, everything is most excellent and most precious. Oh! Oh! that great and hidden things the mighty God has made this wonderful creature as it is itself obliged to say, despite his deep humility: Fecit mihi magna which is Potens
[9] ! The world does not know, because he is incapable and unworthy.
Saints have said admirable things of this holy city of God, and they have never been more eloquent and happier, as they themselves admit that when they spoke. After that they cry out that the height of her merits, she raised to the throne of divinity
[10] , can not be seen, that the breadth of its charity, it has more extensive than the land can not be measured, that the greatness of his power, it was God himself up on a
[11] , may not understand, and finally the depth of his humility and all its virtues and graces, which are an abyss, can not be probed. O
height incomprehensible! O ineffable width! O enormous size! O impenetrable abyss! Every day, throughout the earth to the other in the highest heaven, in the deepest abyss, while fishing, just published the admirable Mary. The nine choirs of angels, men of all sexes, ages, conditions, religions, good and bad, to the devils, are obliged to call him Blessed, willingly or unwillingly, by] the force of truth. All the angels in heaven, he cried incessantly, "said St. Bonaventure: Sancta, Sancta, Sancta Maria, Dei Genetrix Virgo and
[12] and they offered him millions of millions of times every day salutation of the angels, Ave Maria, etc.. Prostrating themselves before her, they ask him for grace to honor some of his commandments, to St. Michael
[13] , says St. Augustine, though the prince of all the heavenly court, is the most zealous to him and make him make all kinds of honors, still waiting for the honor of going to his word, service to one of his servants.
whole earth is full of His glory, especially among Christians when it is taken for guardianship and protective in several kingdoms, provinces, dioceses and cities, several
[14] cathedrals consecrated to God under her name; pointd ' church without an altar in his honor; point of land or township where there is any one of his miraculous images where all sorts of ailments are cured, and all kinds of property obtained; both guilds and congregations in his honor; many religions
[15] under his name. and protection of both brothers and sisters of all fraternities and so many religious men and women of all religions
[16] who publish her praises and proclaim His mercies. There is not a small child who stuttered in the Ave Maria, do not rent, there is little sinner who, in his hardiness even in it has some spark of confidence, it does There is not even a devil in hell who does not respect the fear.
After that, we must truly say with the Saints: De Maria Nunquam satis ... "We have not yet sufficiently praised, exalted, honored, loved and served Mary. She has earned even more praise, respect, love and service.
After that, we must say with the Holy Spirit: Omnis gloria ejus ab intus Filiae Regis ... "All Glory to the King's Daughter is at home", as if all the glory go to him outside the environment at the sky and the earth was nothing compared to that received by it in by the Creator, and who is not known for small creatures
[17] which can not penetrate the secret of secrets of the King.
After that, we must exclaim with the Apostle: Nec oculus vidit, nec auris audivit, nee in cor hominis Ascendit ... "Neither eye has seen, nor ear has heard, nor the human heart has understood the beauty, the grandeur and excellence of Mary," the miracle of miracles of grace, the nature and glory. If you want to understand the Mother, "says a saint, understand the Son
[18] because it is a worthy Mother of God. Hic taceat omnis lingua ... "Every tongue is silent here. "My heart just
dictate everything I have just written, with special joy, to show that the divine Mary was hitherto unknown
[19] and that is one reason why Jesus Christ is not known as it should be. If then, as it is certain, the reign of Jesus Christ enters the world, it will be a necessary consequence of the knowledge and reign of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who gave birth the first time , and the second will burst
[20] .
contemplating his Ewe lamb being dragged to the slaughter (Isaiah 53:7) , consumed with grief, Mary followed with other women, and shouting: "Where are you, my child? Why do you bring to fulfillment and your fast running (Ps 18:6)? Are there still has other wedding at Cana, is this now that you're going so fast for them to make wine with water? Can I go with you, my child, or is it better to wait for you? Tell me a word, the Word, do not pass in silence before me ... Thou art my son and God ...
