Feast of the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

St. Francis embraced the Mother of our Lord Jesus with indescribable love because, as he said, it was she who made the Lord of majesty our brother, and through her we found mercy. After Christ, he put all his trust in her and took her as his patroness for himself and his friars.

Saint Francis of Assisi
Bonaventure, Major Life
CHAPTER IX
