 Orestes Brownson Society - Mary Worship
If Mary is the Mother of Her Son, then the relations between Mother and Son and all that those relations imply subsist and must forever subsist between them, and she must be honored as the Mother of God, and therefore of grace, the grace through which we are redeemed and saved.
Mary is thus called, and rightly called, "the Mother of grace," for she is that inasmuch as she is Mother of the Sacred Flesh through which grace has been purchased and is communicated to us.
Mary is the channel through which her Divine Son dispenses all His graces and blessings to us, and He loves and delights to load with His favors all who love and honor her.
