“God has willed to make use of Mary for the sanctification of souls, having already made use of her to bring about the Incarnation.”
-St. Louis de Montfort
For Reflection:
Consider this quote in light of the First Dolor. How does it apply to Simeon’s prophecy to Our Lady about the sword in her heart? In what way does this apply to her spiritual motherhood? Personally, how have you seen Mary both “birth” Jesus in your heart and work toward your own sanctification?
