Towards God she was simple : towards the wretched she was compassionate : in miracles she was splendid. Therefore her type among created things is the Dove among birds, the Vine among trees, the Sun above stars.This is the father of this holy virgin - the Heavenly Father. This is her son - Jesus Christ. This is her fosterer - the Holy Ghost : and thence it is that this holy virgin wrought these great innumerable marvels.She it is that helpeth every one who is in straits and in danger. She it is that abateth the pestilences. She it is that quelleth the wave-voice and the wrath of the great sea. This is the prophesied woman of Christ. She is the Queen of the South. She is the Mary of the Gael.
