Jesus to me is honey in the mouth, music in the ear, a song in the heart.

Bernard of Clairvaux

Let us not imagine that we obscure the glory of the Son by the great praise we lavish on the Mother; for the more she is honored, the greater is the glory of her Son. There can be no doubt that whatever we say in praise of the Mother gives equal praise to the Son.
