I especially like Our Lady depicted as asian narive american black woman...she is mother of all nations after all

@mpenaco: (cont'd).. But amongst all, one there was whom he admired, and this one was the tender Virgin Mary, who, the more exalted were her virtues, so much the more dove-like was her simplicity and humility, and the more lowly was she in her own esimation. "THERE ARE YOUNG MAIDENS WITHOUT NUMBER: ONE IS MY DOVE, MY PERFECT ONE." (Cant. 6:7-8)

@mpenaco: WHOSOEVER SHALL EXALT HIMSELF SHALL BE HUMBLED; AND HE THAT SHALL HUMBLE HIMSELF SHALL BE EXALTED (Mt 23:12). These are the words of our Lord and cannot fail. Therefore, God having determined to become man, that he might redeem lost man, & thus show the world his infinite goodness, and having to choose a Mother on earth, he sought amongst women for the one that was most holy and the most humble...

@mpenaco: (cont.) "In fine," adds St. Bernard, "let us measure the singular grace that she acquired on earth, and then we may measure the singular glory which she obtained in heaven;" for, "according to the measure of her grace on earth is the measure of her glory in the kingdom of the blessed."

@mpenaco: (cont.) incomprehensibly greater than that of all saints." And since it is certain that God rewards according to merit, as the Apostle writes, WHO WILL RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS, it is also certain, as St. Thomas teaches, that the Blessed Virgin, "who was equal to and even superior in merit to all men and angels, was exalted above all the celestial orders."

[twelvestars8]

@mpenaco: (cont.) And in sermon by an ancient author, among the works of St. Athanasius, these words are explained as meaning that "Mary is placed at the right hand of God."

It is certain, as St. Ildephonsus says, that Mary's good works incomparably surpassed in merit those of all the saints, and therefore her rewards must have surpassed theirs in the same proportion; for "as that which she bore was incomprehensible, so is the rewards which she merited and received--

@mpenaco: (cont.) so does Mary of herself constitute a hierarchy apart, the sublimest of all, and next to that of God. And as, adds St. Antoninus, the mistress is, without comparison, above her servants, so is "Mary, who is the sovereign Lady of the angels, exalted incomparably above the angelic hierarchies." To understand this, we need only know what David said: THE QUEEN STOOD ON THY RIGHT HAND (Ps 45:9)

@mpenaco: (cont.) Rightly, then, does the Church sing that Mary having loved God more than all the angels, "the Mother of God has been exalted above them all in the heavenly kingdom." Yes, "she was exalted," says the abbot Guerric, "above the angels; so that she sees none above her but her Son," who is the only-begotten of the Father.

Hence it is that the learned Gerson asserts that, as all the orders of angels and saints are divided into three hierarchies (St. Denis, Doctor of the Church),

@mpenaco: Let us consider how exalted was the throne to which Mary was raised in heaven. "If the mind of man," says St. Bernard, "can never comprehend the immense glory prepared in heaven by God for those who on earth have loved him, as the Apostle tells us (1 Cor ii. 9), who can ever comprehend the glory he has prepared for his beloved Mother, who, more than all men, loved him on earth; nay, even from the very first moment of her creation, loved him more than all men and angels united?"

However, God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit are one (La santisima trinidad), but still I respect your point of view, because that is how catholics are educated.
