Novena 4, Day 9, THANKSGIVING
Assumption and Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
“If the mind of man,' says Saint Bernard, '
can never comprehend the immense glory prepared in heaven by God, for those who
on earth have loved Him, as the Apostle tells us, who can ever comprehend the
glory He has prepared for His beloved Mother, who, more than all men, loved Him
on earth; nay, even from the very first moment of her creation, loved Him more
than all men and angels united?' Rightly, then, does the Church sing, that Mary
having loved God more than all the angels, ' the Mother of God has been exalted
above them all in the heavenly kingdom.'
~ St. Alphonsus de Liguori,
Glories of Mary
