 24 X    |        But is Mary the Mother of Christ only? Nay, what is most
 25 X    |        is not only the Mother of Christ, but also the Mother of
 26 X    |           St. Ambrose saith: "If Christ is the brother of all believers,
 27 X    |       not she, who brought forth Christ, the mother of all believers?"
 28 X    |   blessed is the Mother, by whom Christ is our Brother." St. Anselm
 29 XI   |         kings, is Our Lord Jesus Christ. The aurora, therefore,
 30 XI   |        the Holy of Holies, Jesus Christ, as He Himself shows, saying: "
 31 XI   |          For the Sun of justice, Christ Our Lord, by means of His
 32 XI   |    without clouds, that is, when Christ was born without any of
 33 XI   |       fire, by the stone, if not Christ? For He Himself is the sun
 34 XI   |         defect. I say that Jesus Christ is the sun illuminating
 35 XI   |          Ecclus. VII, 19.) Again Christ is the fire enkindling the
 36 XI   |          within us," etc. Again, Christ is the stone strengthening
 37 XI   |         founded upon the rock of Christ. What does it mean, therefore,
 38 XI   |         hands, unless it be that Christ, who is the sun of truth,
 39 XI   |         For in the conception of Christ you will find neither sin
 40 XI   |      paradise of pleasure (Jesus Christ from the Virgin's womb)
 41 XI   |          the womb of Mary, Jesus Christ, who has said: "I will water
 42 XI   |      Therefore the sun signified Christ, who enlightens the elect
 43 XI   |         Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us in

 45 XI   |          Justice, our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who with the Father
 46 XII  |        contemplation enters into Christ the King. The two maidens
 47 XII  |      which has thus entered into Christ, sometimes faints away by
 48 XII  |          flower, so that without Christ no one could be wise, no
 49 XII  | passersby. Therefore, well could Christ say: "I am the flower of
 50 XII  |           I hold that Mary is in Christ and with Christ; in Christ,
 51 XII  |       Mary is in Christ and with Christ; in Christ, because in Him
 52 XII  |       Christ and with Christ; in Christ, because in Him we live
 53 XII  |         and have our being; with Christ, because she is assumed
 54 XII  |      this flower, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.~
 55 XIII |       Mary, and was fulfilled in Christ." Likewise, Mary surpassed
 56 XIII |         of glory, Our Lord Jesus Christ, may stay with us!~
 57 XIV  |        in the heavenly places in Christ." If, therefore, grace makes
 58 XIV  |          the tree of life, Jesus Christ. St. Bernard says: "Truly
 59 XIV  |           II, 45.) This was when Christ was born of Mary without
 60 XIV  |         the earth." The Truth is Christ, who said: "I am the Way,
 61 XIV  |     blood."~Well doth he signify Christ, who, having become our
 62 XIV  |          in that house signifies Christ, for Christ is our servant
 63 XIV  |      house signifies Christ, for Christ is our servant and our life.
 64 XIV  |          is the precious soul of Christ; and the manna signifies
 65 XIV  |       this ark, because of Jesus Christ, the Son of Mary, the Lord
 66 XV   |         above in the divinity of Christ, and from below in His humanity;
 67 XV   |           Remember, O Mary, that Christ bore the malediction of
 68 XV   |        to fear." David signifies Christ, who by Mary's meekness
 69 XV   |      salvation. For by this vein Christ, the fountain of life, came
 70 XV   |       this vein we come to Jesus Christ, who is the fountain of
 71 XV   |           through Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.~
 72 XVI  |    Therefore, St. Bernard says: "Christ is born of a woman, but
 73 XVI  |     fragrance of the examples of Christ, the fragrance of the consolations
 74 XVI  | fragrance of the consolations of Christ, the fragrance of promises
 75 XVI  |         fragrance of promises of Christ, is most delightful to the
 76 XVI  |        the soul that thirsts for Christ. And, therefore, as the
 77 XVI  |     thirsts, so does the odor of Christ draw one who runs and says: "
 78 XVI  |         the angels long to look? Christ indeed is a beautiful Fruit,
 79 XVI  |       who maketh both one, Jesus Christ. And certainly, the fear
 80 XVI  |         the wheat is the Body of Christ, the oil the soul of Christ,
 81 XVI  |      Christ, the oil the soul of Christ, and the wine the Divinity
 82 XVI  |         the wine the Divinity of Christ. We can see in the fruit
 83 XVI  |         Sacrament of the Body of Christ, in the fruit of the wine
 84 XVI  |         of the wine the Blood of Christ in the Sacrament, and in
 85 XVI  |    Nazareth is it announced that Christ will be born, because of
 86 XVI  |         by the same Fruit, Jesus Christ Our Lord, thy Son. Amen.~
 87 XVII |        one only is the Mother of Christ; nevertheless, according
 88 XVII |           according to the mind, Christ is the fruit of all. For
 89 XVII |          free from all vice. For Christ is the fruit of the virtuous,
 90 XVII |        best Fruit of the womb is Christ: for whoever is sanctified
 91 XVII |            The Flower of Mary is Christ, who, like the fruit of
 92 XVII |      left all worldly things for Christ, as it were gives a thousand
 93 XVII |        dung, that she might gain Christ."~Sixthly, let us see how
 94 XVII |       this fruit, Our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son. Amen.~
