"She is that bright and
wondrous star forever raised
above the great wide sea
of this world.
St, Bronnard speaks to
Mother Mary And so dying
the Madonna / Whose bussiness.
This Madonna is raised up
to us—forever—as our
light, our ideal. She
glows over the whole
sea of this world; She
is our North Star. SHE
is our North Star." - Rights
