Chapter

 1 II  |       Psalm: "Her throne is as the sun in my sight, and as the
 2 III |     beautiful than light, than the sun, and above all the arrangement
 3 III |             Mary is purer than the sun, and the stars, and the
 4 III |           purity she surpasses the sun, the stars, and the light,
 5 III |           of the world without the sun ? St. Bernard says: "Take
 6 III |           this lightsome body, the sun, what will give light to
 7 III |            whole of Heaven, as the sun doth the world, according
 8 III |            to Ecclesiasticus: "The sun giving light hath looked
 9 IV  |         works of His hands are the sun and the aurora. Alas, how
10 VII |             because by the Eternal Sun she is fully illuminated
11 VII |          received from the Eternal Sun, before she conceived Him;
12 VII |         wonderfully conceived this Sun, and so entirely received
13 VIII|             His throne is like the sun in my sight, and like the
14 IX  |         Mary, from whom sprang the Sun of Justice?" The Lord is,
15 IX  |             From the rising of the sun even to its setting, the
16 X   |            mercy she resembles the sun. For as the sun surpasses
17 X   |      resembles the sun. For as the sun surpasses the moon in the
18 X   |         Who is there upon whom the sun and the moon do not shine ?
19 X   |            thinks of this: "As the sun shines indifferently upon
20 X   |           mercy, the mother of the Sun of justice, the mother of
21 XI  |        Certainly with thee, as the sun is with the aurora which
22 XI  |           going in to him. For the Sun, which is the most lightsome
23 XI  |       therefore, going before this Sun with resplendent radiance,
24 XI  |            thee, certainly, as the sun is with the aurora going
25 XI  |     singular manner by the Eternal Sun, being thus marvelously
26 XI  |        prepares the rising of this Sun, has wonderfully inaugurated
27 XI  |         the day of grace of such a Sun, as St. Bernard says: "Like
28 XI  |           the splendor of the true Sun by such a wonderful radiance
29 XI  |       because of the rising of the Sun of justice; fourth, because
30 XI  |           to her neighbors, as the sun towards God. She made progress
31 XI  | resplendent humility, clear as the sun in her radiant charity.
32 XI  |            the happy rising of the Sun of justice. For the Sun
33 XI  |            Sun of justice. For the Sun of justice, Christ Our Lord,
34 XI  |   resplendent in the rising of her Sun, according to that word: "
35 XI  |            of the morning when the sun riseth, shineth in the morning
36 XI  |     holiness of Mary, by which the Sun of justice, who was about
37 XI  |            of the morning. For the Sun of justice, who was Himself
38 XI  |         forth wonderfully when the Sun rose without clouds, that
39 XI  |           here it is said that the sun rose without clouds, and
40 XI  |     therefore, is signified by the sun, by the fire, by the stone,
41 XI  |      Christ? For He Himself is the sun enlightening the intellect,
42 XI  |           that Jesus Christ is the sun illuminating the intellect,
43 XI  |       according to Malachias: "The sun of justice will rise upon
44 XI  |          mean, therefore, that the sun rises without a cloud, the
45 XI  |            that Christ, who is the sun of truth, the fire of charity,
46 XI  |       place nearest to the Eternal Sun. We may consider that the
47 XI  |          the bringing forth of the Sun of justice in her wonderful
48 XI  |            made the aurora and the sun" (Ps. LXXIII, 6.)~Thus St.
49 XI  |           like fire. Therefore the sun signified Christ, who enlightens
50 XI  |            of Ecclesiasticus: "The sun three times as much, burneth
51 XI  |            between us and the just Sun. And well, therefore, doth
52 XI  |          between the night and the sun, because in the natural
53 XI  |          between the night and the sun, between man and God, between
54 XI  |            vivid image of the true Sun, amongst the myriads of
55 XI  |          with thee, O Mary, as the sun is with the dawn. Therefore,
56 XI  |           Mary, let us be with the Sun of Justice, our Lord Jesus
57 XII |         Lord was with Mary, as the sun is with the dawn which goes
58 XIII|            been said above, as the sun is with the dawn which precedes
59 XIII|            the dawn to the eternal Sun, preventing the Sun of justice;
60 XIII|        eternal Sun, preventing the Sun of justice; having seen
61 XIII|            the moon, bright as the sun?" (Cant. VI, 9.) To these
62 XIII|            dawn, the moon, and the sun, Mary is fitly compared,
63 XIII|         light it receives from the sun. Think, therefore, what
64 XIII|            Mary, when that Eternal Sun was wholly received and
65 XIII|       Again Mary was chosen as the sun in the illumining privilege
66 XIII|            and body; bright as the sun, in the adorable divinity
67 XIII|            truly with thee, as the sun is with the dawn which goes
68 XIII|       sweet aurora, grant that the Sun of justice may also be with
