“No creature shared that grace in a higher degree than Mary. She, our Mother, is our example of the manner in which God must be born again in us. On the one hand, we should recognize ourselves as her children, because her son is our Brother. On the other, she will also teach us how to conceive Christ and bear Him and how to bear Him.

Let us say after Mary, with St. Teresa: Ecce ancilla Domini, fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum – ‘Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done unto me according to thy word.'”

St. Titus Brandsma
