Mary must shine forth more than ever in mercy, in might, and in grace, in these latter times:

in mercy, to bring back and lovingly receive the poor strayed sinners who shall be converted and shall return to the Catholic Church;

in might, against the enemies of God, idolaters, schismatics, Mahometans, Jews, and souls hardened in impiety, who shall rise in terrible revolt against God to seduce all those who shall oppose them and to make them fall by promises and threats;

and finally, she must shine forth in grace, in order to animate and sustain the valiant soldiers and faithful servants of Jesus Christ, who shall battle for His interests.

St. Peter Damian:

When you are scorned by others and lashed by God, do not despair.
God lashes us in this life to shield us from the eternal lash in the next.

It is quite true that the most faithful servants of the Blessed Virgin, being also her greatest favorites, receive from her the greatest graces and favors from Heaven, which are crosses.

But it is also the servants of Mary who carry these crosses with more ease, more merit and more glory.

That which would stay the progress of another a thousand times over, or perhaps would make him fall, does not once stop their steps, but rather enables them to advance;

because that good Mother, all full of grace and of the unction of the Holy Ghost, prepares her servants' crosses with so much maternal sweetness and pure love as to make them gladly acceptable, no matter how bitter they may be in themselves.
