Blessed those who do not abandon the way I have bidden them go! Blessed those who listen to what I tell them (Prov 8:32-33) and who follow the models of virtue I offer them.
In putting these words on the lips of Mary, the Church urges us to study the life of the Queen of Saints and to imitate her splendid example.
Happy the man who imitates our Lady, for in imitating her he imitates Jesus, king and incomparable model of all virtue.
The Blessed Virgin's life contains lessons for everyone, If we study it, we learn how to live in prosperity and adversity, prayer and work, honors and humiliations.
We shall never attain the perfection she brought to every action; but our perfection can be measured by our closeness to her.
