The Virtue of Justice - The Conception - Bk 2 - Ch10

An in-depth look at the virtue of Justice. In it, The Blessed Virgin Mary warns us about a lack of justice in our offerings to God. Our Queen said, "…you have included a copious summary to direct your intercourse with people and your worship of the Most High. In regard to this latter I remind you, my dearest, that the supreme majesty of the Omnipotent is highly indignant at the offenses of mortals, who forget the veneration, adoration, and reverence due to Him. If some of them do render it, it is so coarse, inattentive and discourteous, that they do not merit reward but chastisement. They revere and adore profoundly the princes and magnates of the earth; they ask favors and seek to obtain them with the utmost diligence; they are enthusiastic in their thanks, when they succeed, declaring  their lifelong gratitude. But the supreme Lord, who gives them being, life and activity, who preserves and sustains them, who has redeemed them and raised them to the dignity of sons, who wishes to confer upon them his own glory, who is in Himself the infinite and the highest Good; Him, the highest Majesty, they forget, because they cannot see Him with their physical eyes. As if not all good came from Him, they return, at the most, merely a sluggish remembrance and a hasty thanksgiving."
