Quote by Frederick W. Faber
“2. Maria viveu sua vida no anonimato, motivo pelo qual é chamada de Alma Mater pela Igreja e pelo Espírito Santo: Mãe escondida e secreta. Sua humildade foi tão profunda que ela não teve neste mundo pretensão mais poderosa e mais contínua do que a de esconder-se a si mesma e a toda criatura, para ser conhecida unicamente por Deus.”

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.
