What an enchanting Infant! Exempt from original sin, gifted with infused knowledge and the full use of reason from the moment She opened her eyes to reality, Mary understood all that happened around her.
Devoid of any sign of that puerile behaviour proper to the descendants of Adam, She was serious and solemn while also charming and graceful. Her innumerable qualities and gifts were revealed in all her movements, even her slightest gestures, for, like the light of the sun, the fullness of grace emanating from the Blessed Virgin could not be obscured.
Everything in Mary was “divine”, and inspired the perfect practice of virtue.
In the little Mary – her eyes, her eyebrows, her hair, her physiognomy, her vocal inflections – absolutely everything resembled the God Infant, albeit clothed with markedly feminine aspects. Her movements, her breathing, her smallest gestures revealed an intense divine presence which entranced those who saw her.
This is She whom only the Almighty could imagine! This is the little one who rules the immense Heart of God!
