I'm unsettled any time I hear a priest calling for priests to become more "in love" with Mary… Instead, like Juan de la Cruz, they need to be in love with Christ. Fixated on and therefore reflecting Him always.

SAINT LOUIS MARIE DEMONTFORT
And yet in truth we must still say with the saints: De Maria numquam satis : We have still not praised, exalted, honored, loved and served Mary adequately. She is worthy of even more praise, respect, love and service.

God in these times wishes his Blessed Mother to be more known, loved and honored than she has ever been.

Under her guidance they will perceive the splendors of this Queen and will consecrate themselves entirely to her service as subjects and slaves of love.

Is it not reasonable to find that among so many slaves there should be some slaves of love, who freely choose Mary as their Queen? Should men and demons have willing slaves, and Mary have none? A king makes it a point of honor that the queen, his consort, should have her own slaves, over whom she has right of life and death, for honor and power given to the queen is honor and power given to the king. Could we possibly believe that Jesus, the best of all sons, who shared his power with his Blessed Mother, would resent her having her own slaves? Has he less esteem and love for his Mother than Ahasuerus had for Esther, or Solomon for Bethsheba? Who could say or even think such a thing?
