The kestrel has a peculiar property
of frightening away birds of prey with its looks and cries, for which
reason the dove seeks it beyond all other birds, and lives fearlessly in
it's neighborhood; and so humility repulses Satan and preserves us in
the gifts and graces of the Holy Spirit. For this reason all the saints,
and especially the King of Saints and His Mother, ever honored and
cherished this virtue above all others.
Francis de Sales
