Look now at the face which is closest to that of Christ because only its light can prepare you to perceive Christ. I found it, that face, shining with such a happiness that nothing I had seen thus far had filled me with so great an enchantment and offered me an image so similar to that of God... O Virgin, mother and daughter of your Son, humble and higher than all other creatures,... you are the one who ennobles our human nature... In your womb the fire of love was relit... You are for us the torch of love's high noon.
Dante Alighieri
