Mary, Mother of God
(O.D.M. painting)
Mary is the Paradise of God, His own ineffable world, into which His Son entered to work wonders, to keep it and to take His delight in it. He created a world for the wayfarer, that is the one we are living in. He created a second world for the Blessed, that is Paradise. He created a third for Himself, which he named Mary. She is a world unknown to most mortals here on earth. Even the Angels and Saints in Heaven find Her incomprehensible... Happy, indeed sublimely happy, is the person to whom the Holy Spirit reveals the secret of Mary, imparting to him true knowledge of Her.
Saint Louis Mary de Montfort, The Secret of Mary, Nos. 19-20.
