Every day, from one end of the earth to the other, in the highest heaven and in the lowest abyss, all things speak of and proclaim the wondrous Virgin Mary. The nine choirs of angels, men and women of every age, rank and religion, both good and evil, even wicked demons themselves, are all compelled by the force of truth, willingly or unwillingly, to call her blessed. According to St Bonaventure, all the angels in heaven unceasingly call out to her, "Holy, holy, holy Mary, Virgin Mother of God." They greet her millions and millions of times each day with the angelic greeting: "Hail Mary", while prostrating themselves before her, and begging her the favor of honoring them with one of her commands. According to St Augustine, St Michael is the most eager of all the angels to honor her and lead others to honor her, although he is the prince of all the heavenly court. At all times he awaits the privilege of going at her word to the aid of one of her servants.The whole world is filled with her glory, and this is especially true of Christian peoples, who have chosen her as guardian and protectress of kingdoms, provinces, dioceses, and towns. Many cathedrals are consecrated to God in her name. There is no church without an altar dedicated to her, no land or region without at least one of her miraculous images where all kinds of afflictions are cured and all sorts of benefits received. Many are the confraternities and congregations honoring her as their patron! Many are the orders under her name and protection! Many are the members of sodalities and religious of all congregations who voice her praises and make known her compassion! There is not a child who does not praise her by stuttering a Hail Mary. There is scarcely a sinner, however hardened, who does not possess some spark of confidence in her. Even wicked demons in hell, while fearing her, show her respect.
