Ave Maria Meditations
This then, were the characteristics of the Mother of God: praise of glory, exaltation of love, annihilation of humility, and immense greatness of grace, a miracle of magnificence and a glorious synthesis of the greatest works of God; a channel of mercy, conqueror of satan whose head she crushed, and conqueror of human pride, for she showed in herself the heights to which humility can lead; a heavenly giver of the Bread of Life, and the fragrant flower of all the promises made by God to Abraham and his descendants.
Heresy has attempted to disfigure Mary most holy by giving her other features and trying to remove the crown that God placed on her head, but it has not succeeded because her Canticle remains perpetual in history. No one is capable of altering the harmonies that burst forth from her great soul.
