| Mama Mary: Instrument of SWEET mercy! |
God is merciful, infinitely merciful, nevertheless just and infinitely just. He cannot bear the least sin and must demand full satisfaction for it. The stewardess of the infinite value of the Precious Blood of Jesus that washes away sin, the Immaculata, is the personification of God's mercy. Therefore she is rightly called refuge of sinners, of all sinners regardless of the number and greatness of their sins -- even though the sinner would think there is no more mercy left for him. Indeed, every cleansing of teh soul is for her a new confirmation of her title of Immaculate Conception. The more deeply the soul is plunged into sin, the more does the power of her immaculateness show itself, by the fact that she gives snowy whiteness to such a soul.
-St. Maximilian Kolbe
