On the Mother of God

Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much.
You can never love her more than Jesus did

A reading from the Book of Sirach 26:1-4, 13-16

Blessed the husband of a good wife, twice-lengthened are his days; A
worthy wife brings joy to her husband, peaceful and full is his life. A good
wife is a generous gift bestowed upon him who fears the Lord; Be he rich
or poor, his heart is content, and a smile is ever on his face.

A gracious wife delights her husband, her thoughtfulness puts flesh on his
bones; A gift from the Lord is her governed speech, and her firm virtue is
of surpassing worth. Choicest of blessings is a modest wife, priceless her
chaste soul. A holy and decent woman adds grace upon grace; indeed, no
price is worthy of her temperate soul. Like the sun rising in the Lord’s
heavens, the beauty of a virtuous wife is the radiance of her home.

On Christian Humility

Behold, this is the true and the Christian humility. In this you
will be able to achieve victory over every vice, by attributing to
God rather than to yourself the fact that you have won.
