Brother Antonius adds his poetic voice to those who have written about the Virgin Mary – “trusting the aesthetic intuition to fuse, in faith, the elements so long ambient in the figure of the Virgin, emphasizing the instinctual urgency our age so values, yet not departing from the theological specification the Marian dogmas enforce.” He has endeavored to endow her with “a more instinctual element that is generally accorded her, but which her universality requires.”
