And the king was sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given; he sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

Matthew 14:9-10

"We never give more honour to Jesus than when we honour his Mother, and we honour her simply and solely to honour him all the more perfectly. We go to her only as a way leading to the goal we seek - Jesus, her Son."

- St. Louis de Montfort
