Mary's love of God was on a par with her faith and hope. It was the soul and the very life of all her virtues. Being the Mother of fair love as she is of hope, her every act of love was of such ineffable intensity that it could not be excelled. The holy Doctors of the Church tell us that Mary loved God more in a single instant than all the angels and saints together will ever love him during all eternity. Her love of God was unique and so intense as to cause her to sacrifice herself constantly for his glory on the altar of her heart. Even more than this–oh, the sublimity of a mother's love!–Mary unceasingly immolated, by anticipation, her own divine Son in reparation of the sins of men. Her whole life was an uninterrupted, ardent act of love until that final moment when, consuming the thread of her mortal existence, love bore her as in a chariot of fire to the very throne of her divine Son.
