Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pilgrim of Our Lady of Martyrs, 1896, Vol. 12: Little Messenger of the Sacred Heart
Mother of Him of whom God is the Father from all eternity. This is the root of all her greatness. Hence she was conceived without sin, sanctified above all the children of men, espoused to the Holy Ghost in everlasting wedlock. Thus she was brought into closest relationship with the three persons of the most adorable Trinity - the beloved daughter of the Eternal Father, the privileged Mother of the Eternal Son, the chosen spouse of the Holy Ghost.
Yet these are mysteries which daze the human mind, and overwhelm it with their inaccessible light. There are other more human and home-like relations, if we may so speak, between herself and her divine Son, which are more approachable to us, and which may be said to constitute her maternal joys. These relations consist in that close intimacy which existed between herself and her divine Son, during the thirty years which He vouchsafed to dwell under the same roof with her, and to be the loving object of her solicitude, care and attention.
