Kempis writes in his De Imitatione Christi, ‘Do not seek high things, but to the steps of the Virgin adhere. If thou wishest to follow Christ, do not depart from the Mother; for she herself will lead thee to the Son, and she will teach thee the humility by which she made herself pleasing to Him.’
“The Virgin Mary is a mythicized Isis, the Madonna of Egypt. As Isis carried in her arms the infant Horus, so Mary carries her divine Child, and the ancient Egyptian sign for the Mother of God became the Christian monogram for Mary.”
— Manly P Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages (1928), “The Virgin of the World” section
“Gracious and beautiful Mary, shining dawn. Star of the sea for those who wander, the way of the sorrowful, comforter full of mercy, the salvation and blessedness of all who place their hope in you. You are the paradise of all.”
