St. Mechthild of Hackeborn
How the blessed Virgin should be greeted: First, hers was the purest heart, so she was the first to make a vow of virginity. Second, the most humble. Third, the most devout and desiring. Fourth, the most fervent in love of God and neighbor. Fifth, the most loyal. Sixth, the most patient in suffering. Seventh, the most faithful, for accepting her Son's death. Eighth, most solicitous in prayer. Ninth, most assiduous in contemplation.
