“God’s Son assumed our human nature that we could again have a share of the divine nature. We must, on our part, unite ourselves with Christ, and in and through him with the whole Trinity. And no creature participated more fully in this grace than Mary. She, the Mother of all men, is the example of how God must be born again in us, how he must live in us. We must acknowledge ourselves as her children because her Son is our Brother and because she will teach us how to receive Christ, bear him within ourselves, bring him forth again to the world. Therefore, Mary is the Mother of the spiritual life, the Mother of the life of the consciousness and experience of God.”

Bl. Titus Brandsma
