The Porch of the Mystery of the Second Virtue, Charles Péguy

But there comes a day, an hour,
A moment when Saint Marcel and Saint Germaine,
And Saint Germain himself and our great friend
The great Saint Geneviève,
And even the great Saint Peter are no longer enough
And when it is necessary to resolutely do what must be done…
…And address directly the one who is above all…
…Because she is also infinitely good,
The one who intercedes,
The only one who can speak with the authority of a mother.
Boldly address the one who is infinitely pure,
Because she is also infinitely gentle,
The one who is infinitely noble
Because she is also infinitely courteous…
The one who is infinitely young,
Because she is also infinitely motherly…
The one who is infinitely joyful,
Because she is also infinitely sorrowful.
