Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Saint Teresa: Of the Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Among the accidental glories of the Blessed Mother of God, the amplest and the most conspicuous is the elevation of her daughters and their participation in the service of her Divine Son. In the first Eve they fell under the bondage of this world. In the second Eve they are elevated to a supernatural life and grace. In the midst of the degradations of the old world there was a chosen line in which the types of Jesus and of Mary were continually repeated. Noe, Abraham, Josue, and David, were ennobled by the typical character they bore. Sarai, Rebecca, Judith, and Esther in like manner rose above themselves, and were arrayed in a dignity derived from her whom they foreshowed. The shadow of the Mother of Jesus yet to come cast a beauty upon them. But if this was so even before she came, how much more since her coming. Her example and her power with God have, by His grace, raised her handmaids to the knowledge and love of her Divine Son, and to a participation in the works of His kingdom.
