Thus, we see that Mary was, so to speak, "at home" with God's word, she lived on God's word, she was penetrated by God's word. To the extent that she spoke with God's words, she thought with God's words, her thoughts were God's thoughts, her words, God's words. She was penetrated by divine light and this is why she was so resplendent, so good, so radiant with love and goodness. - Homily Pope Benedict XVI on the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, August 16, 2005 at the parish church of Castelgandalfo, Italy.........................................................................................................................
