Folio (Plate 45) from the work Elogia Mariana, August Casimir Redel (Redelius); ed. Martin Engelbrecht (1684-1756): Augsburg, 1732.
In the face of the powers of demons and death, Christians find protection through Mary. The two texts in her hand invite us, her children, to listen to her (Audite me verita fils), while the banner overhead declares, “Here is my refuge,” drawing us, through the rosary, into her own Sacred Heart.
