Queen of angels, crowned Queen of heaven & earth, the Mediatrix of all graces, treasure of tenderness. sweetness & hope.

"...from the Aurora's bosom, a pink has fallen---a crimson blossom; when silence gently had unfurled, Her mantel over all befow, & crowned with winter's frost and snow. night swayed the sceptre of the world. amid the gloom descending slow upon the monarch's frozen bosom. a pink has fallen---a crimson blossom." (luis de góngora)

"...little by little as my vision grew, it penetrated further through the aura of the high lamp which in itself is true. what then i saw is more than tongue can say. our human speech is dark before the vision. the ravished memory swoons & falls away. so dazzling was the splendor of the Ray, that i must have certainly have lost my senses, had i, but for an instant, turned away."

Her girlhood: "so held she through her girlhood; as it were an angel-watered lily, that near God grows & is quiet. till, one day at home she woke in her white bed, & had no fear at all---yet wept till sunshine, and felt awed; because the fullness of the time was come." (dante alighieri)

"hail girl, of a noble house, shimmering & unpolluted, you pupil in the eye of chastity, you essence of sanctity, which was pleasing to God. For the heavenly potion was poured into you, in that the heavenly word received a raiment of flesh in you. you are the lily that dazzles, whom God knew before all others." (hildegard of bingen)

"Thy soul also a sword shall pierce..."

"Hail Mary, White Lily of the Glorious & always serene trinity. Hail brilliant Rose of the Garden of heavenly delights: O you, by whom God wanted to be born & by whose milk the King of Heaven wanted to be nourished! nourish our souls with effusions of divine grace. Amen!" (i love this little prayer)
