The Mother of God is so much closer to God than
others who draw near to Him, that she is able to intercede more powerfully than
any of them; and by this I mean not just human beings, but even all the ranks
of angels. Isaiah [the Prophet] writes of the highest order of angels in
heaven: 'And the Seraphim stood round about Him' (Isa. 6:2); whereas David says
of the Mother of God: 'At Thy right hand stood the queen ...' (Ps.
44[45]:8). ... the Seraphim are 'round about' God, but only the Queen
of all stands beside Him.
