“Again St. John sets Our Lady before us as the Mother of Sorrows, taking part in the sufferings of Our Lord. He thinks this will need justification, because in his whole plan he imagines Our Lady to be made by the re-creating love equal to the Angels who, he says, know sorrowful things perfectly, but do not feel sorrow on that account. But he adds that God sometimes makes an exception in this and allows souls truly to suffer, in order to increase their merits, or fire their love, or for some other reason. Thus He acted with Our Lady, the Virgin Mother, as He desired Mary to share in His copious work of Redemption for our benefit and for our example.”
St. Titus Brandsma
