The following is taken from Chapter 3 of Fr. John Peter Pinamonti, SJ's "Seven Considerations of the Interior Perfections of Mary." Fr. Pinamonti here considers "The Deep Ocean of Grace."
"... St. Bernard, who is cited by St. Thomas, says: "God has made her infinitely like to His own goodness." And St. Bernardine: "Mary has entered into the deepest abyss of God's wisdom, beyond all our belief; so that, as far as the condition of a pure creature allows - that is, without the personal union [which is found only in Christ the God-Man] - she is lost to sight in that Light Inaccessible." (I. Timothy, vi. 16)
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
