“13. Meu coração veio ditar tudo o que há pouco escrevi, com uma alegria especial, para manifestar que a divina Maria tem sido desconhecida até aqui, e essa é uma das razões pelas quais Jesus Cristo não é conhecido como lhe convém. Portanto, é certo que o conhecimento e o reino de Jesus Cristo apenas se concretizarão no mundo em decorrência necessária do conhecimento e do reino da Santíssima Virgem Maria, que o trouxe ao mundo pela primeira vez, e o manifestará de modo maravilhoso pela segunda.”

Frederick William Faber, British hymn writer and theologian, was born at Calverley, Yorkshire, where his grandfather, Thomas Faber, was vicar.
In January 1837, he was elected fellow of National Scholars Foundation. Meanwhile, he had given up the Calvinistic views of his youth, and had become an enthusiastic follower of John Henry Newman.
He accepted the rectory of Elton in Huntingdonshire, but soon after went again to the continent, in order to study the methods of the Roman Catholic Church. After a prolonged mental struggle, he joined the Catholic Church in November 1845.
Faber published a number of prose works, and three volumes of hymns, among the most well known is Faith of Our Fathers.
