In his work The Mother of The Savior and Our Interior Life (Part II, chap. ii., art. 3; trans. Rev. Father Bernard J. Kelley; Dublin: Golden Eagle Books, Ltd., 1948), Rev. Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange expounds upon the sufferings of Our Lady and how significant they are to our interior life.

Here are some selections from CathInfo's Library that may be of some help:

I would also recommend the book of Rev. Fr. Thomas Livius Mary in the Epistles, or, The Implicit Teaching of the Apostles Concerning the Blessed Virgin Contained in Their Writings (click on the link for PDF) is an amazing work and awesome resource for apologetic defense of Our Lady.

Hobble,

That was really fascinating.

I would go to the beginning of the bible. She is there.
