Commentary Par XXXIII 14-15

Campi (DDP Campi.Par.XXXIII.13-15) cites Monsignor Cavedoni for the attribution of this image to St. Bernard, Sermones in Vigilia Nativitatis Domini III.10: 'Nihil nos Deus habere voluit, quod per Mariae manus non transiret' (God does not wish us to have anything that has not first passed through the hands of Mary).
