  4 II   |           innocence and purity of life; rightly is Ave said to
  5 II   |         Mary and the whole of her life! Therefore St. Bernard saith: "
  6 II   |  privilege of sanctity, to lead a life entirely free from sin,
  7 II   |         should obtain the gift of life and justice for all."~Note

 17 III  |  illuminatrix by her light-giving life and also by her resplendent
 18 V    |         the pure innocence of her life, is rightly saluted by the
 19 V    |      watered, and truly the whole life of Mary was watered by grace,
 20 V    |           fruit. So that fruit of life, Jesus Christ, was brought
 21 VI   |      herself is the grace full of life and truth, who is the Mother
 22 VI   |           to do. The grace of her life set Mary in order in a good
 23 VI   |           Mary in order in a good life with regard to the devil,
 24 VI   |         God. The grace, I say, of life set Mary in order in a good
 25 VI   |           Mary in order in a good life; towards the devil, by fortitude;
 26 VI   |        gift of fear. The grace of life set Mary in order in a most
 27 VI   |        finder of grace, mother of life, mother of salvation, that
 28 VI   |         Mary was, in her glorious life, in the beauty of a pure

 32 VII  |           of the riches of a good life, of the unction of mercy,
 33 VII  |           of the riches of a good life. Of this plenitude we can
 34 VII  |         it the nourishment of our life. Whence have we food and
 35 VII  |        and all the necessaries of life except from the earth, and
 36 VII  |         needful for our spiritual life through Mary. Well therefore
 37 VII  |           merits of the most holy life of Mary. The Lord filled
 38 VII  |      vices, brought back order to life, and discipline to manners."~
 39 VII  |       fullness every creature has life ? Therefore St. Anselm saith: "
 40 VII  |          every creature gains new life !"~Thus you see in Mary
 41 VII  |        the fullness of a fruitful life, the fullness of helping
 42 VIII |      because of the purity of her life, is rightly saluted by the
 43 X    |      indeed in the justice of her life, and in the judgment of
 44 XI   |           of fervor and of a good life, and so they fight with
 45 XI   |   splendor of grace and of a good life. She made progress indeed
 46 XI   |        well says: "The day is the life of the just, but the night
 47 XI   |        night is taken to mean the life of the sinner." And therefore
 48 XI   |            because he takes human life; the thief, because, whatever
 49 XI   |           by the imitation of His life, as out of reverence for
 50 XI   | irradiated by the example and the life of Mary, when being illuminated
 51 XII  |     reputation, of manners and of life, and hear what she herself
 52 XII  |           flowering virtue of her life flourished in the beauty
 53 XII  |        and most useful to men for life. St. Bernard saith: "The
 54 XII  |          is the whole and perfect life of all; let her be with
 55 XIII |           coming into this mortal life; she advanced in grace and
 56 XIV  |           of the innocence of her life, is saluted by the Ave:
 57 XIV  |        finder of grace, Mother of life, Mother of salvation." Blessed
 58 XIV  |         within itself the tree of life, Jesus Christ. St. Bernard
 59 XIV  |          to the world the Tree of Life, of which he who shall eat
 60 XIV  |       because of the grace of her life and conversation. Of this
 61 XIV  |           of the loftiness of her life and manners. This is the
 62 XIV  |       great was the beauty of the life and manners of Mary that
 63 XIV  |          beautiful indeed, in her life; beautiful in the discipline
 64 XIV  |       because of the grace of thy life and thy manners.~Secondly,
 65 XIV  |            and the Truth, and the Life." Blessed, therefore, is
 66 XIV  |     Christ is our servant and our life. In the ark was the golden
 67 XIV  |    blessed house, from whence the life of all hath come forth!
 68 XIV  |            who hast brought forth life to men and women."~Likewise,
 69 XIV  |     virginmother, thou hast given life to the Son of God."~Again,
 70 XIV  |           whose womb the Fruit of life came forth to all believers."
 71 XV   |       forth the Lord to men, gave life to mortals, renewed the
 72 XV   | discipline? What is strictness of life to the lazy, but a sort
 73 XV   |            a vein the fountain of life; Mary is to us a vein of
 74 XV   |           Christ, the fountain of life, came to us, and by this
 75 XV   |            who is the fountain of life; truly, therefore, is it
 76 XV   |          access to God, Mother of life, Mother of salvation, that
 77 XVI  |           of the innocence of her life, is rightly saluted by the
 78 XVI  |        His humanity, white in His life, ruddy in His Passion. Behold
 79 XVI  |           all ! O truly a tree of life, which alone was worthy
 80 XVI  |           the just is the tree of life." For, as the tree of life,
 81 XVI  |        life." For, as the tree of life, which was in the middle
 82 XVI  |         had power to preserve the life of nature, so without doubt
 83 XVI  |         the Tree and the Fruit of Life, in the midst of the Paradise
 84 XVI  |         the Church, preserves the life of grace; in the midst of
 85 XVI  |          Paradise of the heavenly life, preserves the life of glory.
 86 XVI  |      heavenly life, preserves the life of glory. It preserves the
 87 XVI  |           glory. It preserves the life of grace from the corruption
 88 XVI  |      corruption of guilt, and the life of glory from the corruption
 89 XVI  |       angel showed John a tree of life bearing twelve fruits. And
 90 XVI  |          this Fruit, the Fruit of life, the tree of life, is produced
