Mary means enlightener, because She brought forth the Light of the world. In the Syriac tongue, Mary signifies Lady.
Isidore of SevilleConfession heals, confession justifies, confession grants pardon of sin, all hope consists in confession; in confession there is a chance for mercy.
Isidore of SevilleTshe suffering of adversity does not degrade you but exalts you. Human tribulation teaches you; it does not destroy you. The more we are afflicted in this world, the greater is our assurance for the next. The more we sorrow in the present, ..the greater will be our joy in the future.
Isidore of Seville
