J.M.J. I love this! From Mary in Doctrine (Dayton, Ohio: Marianist Publications, 1962) by the Reverend Emil Neubert, S.M., S.T.D., quoting Saint John Damascene (+749):
"It is a customary practice that the wealth of the parents pass to their children. But here, as was said by a wise man, the springs of the sacred waters flow toward the height: the Son, in fact, has submitted the entire creation to the dominion of His Mother." (page 7)
Mindless exaggeration? No. Unfortunate hyperbole. Again, no.
There is a reason that we call Our Lady "Queen." It isn't merely a pleasant title.
Jesus Christ has seen fit to adorn His Ever-Virgin Mother with power and dominion. She exercises both with humility and love.
Should you wish, during these late Advent days, to extend some charity in the Holy Name of the Babe of Bethlehem and of that of His Chaste Mother:
