The general norm "Through Mary to Jesus" is therefore valid also for the imitation of Christ.
Nevertheless,
let our faith not be perturbed, as if the intervention of a creature in
every way similar to us, except as regards sin, offended our personal
dignity and prevented the intimacy and immediacy of our relationships of
adoration and friendship with the Son of God.
Let us
rather recognize the "goodness and the love of God the Savior," who,
condescending to our misery, so remote from His infinite sanctity,
wished to make it easier for us to imitate it by giving us as a model
the human person of His Mother. She, in fact, among human beings, offers
the most shining example and the closest to us, of that perfect
obedience whereby we lovingly and readily conform with the will of the
eternal Father.
