MARY IMMACULATE
HER BEAUTY
5. Mary's Beauty.
Now to keep on questioning: "What do you think God, Who created such wonders for ungrateful men and ungrateful angels, would then do for Mary and for Jesus?" If He made Heaven in order to cheer man, what will he do in order to please Mary whom He loves much more than all other creation? If He created such wonders for His servants, what would He do for the dwelling, abode and palace of His Son Who wanted no other paradise than the womb of Mary? Think how willingly God quitted His Heavenly abode in order to take His abode in Mary. What purity would He have given to the blood that was to flow through the veins of His Son! What crimson would He give to those lips that so often were to kiss the cheeks of His Son! What hands would be those that were to bear the One Who in His own hands bears, the whole of creation! What heart so pure, so delicate, so tender! He gathered in it all the tenderness of the hearts of all mothers.
Continue contemplating the beauty of Mary Immaculate and you will realize that in her compare all earthly beauty hardly deserves the name!
