"It would be a real lack of humility, as St. Grignon de Montfort says, to pass over the mediators whom God has given us because of our weakness.Far from lessening our intimacy with God, they prepare us for its increase.
Just as Jesus does nothing in souls except in order to lead them to His Father, so also Mary works on minds and hearts solely in order to lead them nearer to her Son.
God has willed to make continual use of Mary for the sanctification of souls."

Thanks ... I'm taking that for use on the page I'm adding to our parish website on the Holy Father's request we pray the Rosary daily during the month of October. With any luck, I'll get out to St. Dominic's for the Rosary Congress that began yesterday here in New Orleans.
Regards.
Cool. One of my favorite writers. He taught Pope JPII mystical/spiritual theology. I'm reading his book "Providence" currently.
