(THE PRESENTATION OF MARY IN THE TEMPLE)
THERE never was and never will be an offering on the part of a pure creature greater or more perfect than that which Mary made to God, when, at the age of three years, she presented herself in the temple to offer him, not aromatical spices, nor calves, nor gold, but her entire self, consecrating herself as a perpetual victim in his honour.
