Just as in natural and bodily generation there is a father and a mother, so in the supernatural and spiritual generation there is a father who is God and a mother who is Mary. All true children of God have God for their father and Mary for their mother; anyone who does not have Mary for his mother, does not have God for his father......Indeed if they had her for their mother they would love and honour her as good and true children naturally love and honour the mother who gave them life. From Treatsie on True Devotion to Mary.
