"O Most Pure Virgin Mother of God, tell us how, when you lived on earth, you loved your son and your God. How your mind rejoiced in it God, your Savior? How do you watch his wonderful face, thought it is that fear and love are with all the heavenly powers? Tell us, that felt your soul when you held in your arms the divine Child? How did you rate? What were the pain in your soul you seek when, with Joseph for three days in Jerusalem? What have you endured tortures when he was betrayed and died on the Cross? Tell us what was your joy in the Resurrection, or what fills your soul languishing after the Ascension of the Lord?
Our souls want to know your life with the Lord on earth ...
... but you did not want to put this in writing and is in the silence you've wrapped your secret "
