Pictures of Mary arouse devotion, imitate her way of asking Jesus confidently with perseverance, keep our Lady company as you weep over sins, turn to Mother of Fair Love with confidence, Love for Lady = proof of good spirit, contemplate the Virgin of Sorrows, such a humble holy Mother Mary, ask for fortitude in sorrow, teacher of sacrifice cooperating with her Son, work without outward show like handmaid of the Lord.
