 1 II  |       prepared for Mary eternal light in Heaven, so that, as the
 2 III |         a star by whose guiding light they may, without going
 3 III |     Cross, and by virtue of the light which Mary, the Star of
 4 III |       by bringing forth eternal light; a most useful star by directing
 5 III |      She is more beautiful than light, than the sun, and above
 6 III |    stars, and being compared to light, she is found more pure."
 7 III |          and the stars, and the light. For both in dignity and
 8 III |         sun, the stars, and the light, yea, even every spiritual
 9 III |        it is said: "God divides light from darkness," that is,
10 III |         purer than this angelic light. Hence Saint Anselm exclaims: "
11 III |        star by emitting eternal light and bringing forth the Son
12 III |         her rewards. She giveth light by the example of her life,
13 III |        her glorious life giveth light to the world. She it is
14 III |     most radiantly, and by this light he puts to flight the darkness
15 III |        in darkness, but has the light of life."~Secondly, consider
16 III |        full of darkness, in the light of this world, if we had
17 III |         the sun, what will give light to the world, and where
18 III | Ecclesiasticus: "The sun giving light hath looked upon all things,
19 III |         therefore, Mary, giving light by her glory, hath looked
20 V   |       heavenly purity, heavenly light, and other heavenly virtues,
21 VI  |     united to that inaccessible Light." Again, what wonder if
22 VII |      fully illuminated with the light of wisdom and truth. Therefore,
23 VII |         if Mary was full of the light of wisdom, which she received
24 XI  |        beginning the day by its light. Truly, indeed, Mary, the
25 XI  |       to be begun by thy bright light." Mary is, therefore, the
26 XI  |  because of the approach of the light of grace; third, because
27 XI  |      Let the stars darken their light. Let it expect light and
28 XI  |      their light. Let it expect light and not see it, nor the
29 XI  |       here by the stars, by the light, by the dawn ? I say that
30 XI  |        souls of the Saints; the light is the Holy of holies; the
31 XI  |      that departs from God. The light signifies the Holy of Holies,
32 XI  |        shows, saying: "I am the light of the world, who followeth
33 XI  |       us, brethren, follow this light, lest, walking in darkness,
34 XI  |     that this night has seen no light.~Secondly, note that Mary
35 XI  |       her happy progress in the light of grace, according to that
36 XI  |        Cant. VI, 9.) For as the light of the aurora progresses
37 XI  | according to that word: "As the light of the morning when the

41 XI  |   because of the advance of the light of grace in her most bright
