Mary

To her who is infinitely young.
Because she is infinitely a mother.

To her who is infinitely standing.
Because she is also infinitely bending forward.

To her who is infinitely joyful.
Because she is also infinitely sorrowful.

To her who is infinitely touching.
Because she is also infinitely touched.

To her who is inifinitely heavenly.
Because she is also infinitely earthly.

To her who is infinitely eternal.
Because she is also infinitely temporal.

To her who is Mary.

To her who is the nearest to God.
Because she is also the nearest to men.
