Book excerpt: The story of Guadalupe conforms to Mary's maternal duty. The maternal duty of Mary towards men in no way obscures or diminishes this unique mediation of Christ; rather shows its power. For all the influences of Blessed Virgin Mary on men, originate, not from necessity, but from divine pleasure. They flow from the abundance of the merits of Christ, rest on his mediation, depend entirely on it, and draw its power from it. In no way do they impede the immediate union of the faithful with Christ. Rather they foster it.
