“By way of parenthesis, let us remark that Saint Alphonsus says: "It will suffice to keep silent"; he wishes to indicate that it is profitable to do more than fly under Mary's mantle, viz., not only to show our confidence, homage, and love by just being there, but to practice that fourth and perfecting element of Marian devotion: imitation. By rendering homage to Mary we give Her our minds; by confidence we giver our wills; by love we give our hearts. Such is true but . To be perfect we must sell all and follow Mary; we must give Her our whole selves by imitation. Later the reader will see how the Scapular renders this perfection of devotion to Our Lady very easy; he is now concerned with is what is sufficient and we return to the consideration of Mary's Promise only in so far as it is a means of salvation. (chapter four)”
