Our Lady can say, and she alone: "I am clean and without sin; I am unspotted and there is no iniquity in me" (Job. xxxiii. 9).
The Blessed Mother of God is, then, an impregnable bulwark against the power of hell, and is distinguished by her successful enmity against Satan, and his unchanging hate towards her. This indicates not only her dignity but her office. She is our natural protector. If we be on her side we shall be on the side of Jesus.
