of our earthly life, who all lie in wait, especially in recent times, for the undoing of our distressed Homeland. Mary is the “Morning Star” which leads to Christ, the “Sun of Justice.” Father Wyszy<ski got the idea of such a title for the book written by Arias from St. Bernard. he quotes his words : She is the noble Star rising from the House of Jacob, whose rays illuminate the whole world, and this light shines high above, penetrating the depths and piercing the earth. It warms the soul more than the body, it preserves virtues and destroys bad habits. She is the brightest and the most magnificent Star above the vast sea of the world, shining with virtues and illuminat- ing with merits. If someone is immersed in the turbulent waters of this world more than he walks on the earth, he should not turn his eyes away from this Star if he does not want to drown. When the gales of temptations rise against you and you fall into the trap of your senses, look up to this Star, call upon Mary. When anger, greed, or covetousness shake the boat of your mind, look to Mary. When you become inundated by the waves of pride, inso- lence, slander and hatred, look at the Star, call upon Mary. When you become distressed by the number of your sins, ashamed of the impurity of your conscience, frightened by the harshness of the judgment, and plunged in the abyss of sadness, think on Mary. When you are oppressed, or in danger, or besieged by doubts, remem- ber her and call upon her name. May it never disappear from your lips or withdraw from your heart. Follow her example if you want to receive her help. If you imitate The Propogator of Devotion to Mary 66
