I recently heard Mary referred to like this:

Daughter of the Father
Mother of the Son
Spouse of the Holy Spirit

Does anyone know the source of this?

Thanks!

I heard this several years ago, but can't recall the source... I know it was during lectures at Ave Maria College - I'll see if I can find my class notes as I'm unpacking some of my books on Monday and Tuesday.

I don't recall ever hearing this exact phras before either. I just came across it in Seton's Art 5 for Young Catholics. It's on page 91. Doesn't discuss it though just uses the phrase:

"The positioning of the subjects in this work of art beautifully shows the perfection of the Blessed Virgin and how she it exalted above all creatures: She is daughter of the Father, the mother of the Son, and the spouse of the Holy Spirit."

I googled it as well and it is used a lot. Couldn't find out where/who actually summarized the doctine in these words though.
