True devotion to the Blessed Virgin is tender, that is to say, full of trust in her, like the trust of a child in its beloved mother. This devotion leads you to turn to the Blessed Virgin in all your material and spiritual needs with great simplicity, trust, and tenderness, and to implore the help of your loving Mother at all times, in every place, and under every circumstance: in times of doubt, that she may enlighten you; in times of straying, that she may guide you back to the right path; in times of temptation, that she may sustain you; in times of weakness, that she may strengthen you; in times of fall, that she may lift you up; in times of discouragement, that she may revive you; in times of scruple, that she may free you from them; in the crosses, anxieties, and setbacks of life, that she may console you. Finally, in all material and spiritual difficulties, Mary is your ordinary recourse, without fear of bothering your loving Mother or displeasing Jesus Christ.
