TENTH VISIT
Visit to the Blessed Virgin Mary

The great Queen says, With me are riches . . . that I may enrich them that love me. [Prov. xviii. 8] Let us love Mary, if we would be rich in graces. The writer who calls himself "the Idiot" styles her "the treasurer of graces." [Cont. de V. M. c. i] Blessed is he who has recourse to Mary with love and confidence. My Mother, my hope, thou canst make me a Saint; from thee I hope for this favor.

Ejaculatory prayer. Mother most amiable, pray for me!

[From the Naples Edition.]

Prayer of St. Andrew of Jerusalem.

Hail! Mary, full of grace: the Lord is with thee. Hail! source of our joy. Through thee, as the Mother of Jesus. the sentence of our condemnation has been revoked, and changed into a judgment of benediction: Hail, temple of the Deity's glory, sacred dwelling of the King of Heaven; thou art the reconciliation of God with man, Hail, Mother of our bliss; thou art truly blessed, because thou wast the only one amongst women found worthy to be the Mother of thy Creator. All nations call thee blessed. [In S. Deip. Ann.] If I place my confidence in thee I shall be saved. Under thy protection I have nothing to fear, because, in being devoted to thee, I hold in my hand the most assured arms of salvation, which the Almighty grants only to those whom He wishes in a special manner to save.

Ejaculatory prayer. We fly to thy protection, O sacred Mother of God!
