     St. John Damascene, one of the last great Patristic writers, wrote these words in honor of the Mother of God, whom we especially honor in Advent:

     Through her, the long warfare waged with the creator has been ended. Through her, the reconciliation between us and him was ratified. Grace and peace were granted to us so that men and angels are united in the same choir, and we, who have been deserving of disdain, have become sons of God. From her we have harvested the grape of life; from her we have cultivated the seed of immortality. For our sake she became Mediatrix of all blessings; in her God became man and man became God.

     We today also remain near you, O Lady. Yes, I repeat O Lady, Mother of God and Virgin. We bind our souls to your hope, as to a most firm and totally unbreakable anchor, consecrating to you mind, soul, body and all our being and honoring you, as much as we can, with psalms, hymns and spirutal canticles.
