Reading: If men would reflect and try to comprehend, they must see that this Mary, blessed of generations, is a proof of another order of things a land in which Faith and Religion must be our guides. These are more courageous and not afraid to face this gigantic fact We must seek the reason of (her triumph) in another order, the supernatural. Doing this, mystery and contradiction vanish and in the light of supernatural truth it all becomes so beautiful, simple and clear. (MCM, p. 166)
